Sažetak
Coke industries around the world produce large amounts of distinctly toxic wastewater of complex composition, known as coking wastewater. Coking wastewater represents a significant environmental issue in terms of both, quantity and quality. It consists of number of toxic compounds, such as phenolic compounds, cyanides and thiocyanates, among many others. In addition to toxicity, these compounds are characterized by carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and teratogenicity. If coking wastewater of such composition is not adequately treated, it poses a potential hazard to both, people and nature. This study involves isolation and identification of microorganisms naturally present in real coking wastewater treatment plant. Three different bacteria strains (two Gram positive, (Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.) and one Gram negative (Pseudomonas sp.)), as well as one yeast (Candida sp.) were isolated and identified from mixture of coking wastewater and activated sludge. Since there is a general need to optimize biological treatment of coking wastewater to achieve environmentally friendly, cost-effective and efficient technology, detailed study and understanding of biological processes is crucial, therefore the isolation and identification of microbial species is the first step in this great challenge.
