Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting microorganisms in a biological processing vessel that enables detecting a microorganism phase through one immune reaction using an antibody without the requiring for time and labor in producing the antibody for the microorganisms in the processing vessel. SOLUTION: This microorganism detecting method comprises producing a polyclonal antibody via a vertebrate, with the antigen being microorganisms in a biological processing vessel in which waste water is purified, and detecting changes in the microorganisms in the biological processing vessel by causing the polyclonal antibody to undergo a specific antigenantibody reaction with the microorganisms in the biological processing vessel. In this case, the antibody that is produced with the antigen being a mixture of cells from the plural kinds of microorganisms in the biological processing vessel, which mixture is sterilized and either made soluble or heat treated with a surfactant, is utilized to detect changes in the microorganism phase. Alternatively, a film fraction may be extracted from the mixture of cells from the plural kinds of microorganisms and used as the antigen.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to purify sewage, factory wastewater, domestic wastewater, and other wastewater, biochemical treatment methods using various microorganisms including anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria are often used. In order to perform the treatment efficiently, it is important to grasp the microbial flora in the treatment tank and, if it changes, to maintain good microbial flora by changing the operation control conditions. Conventionally, in order to know the microflora in a biological treatment tank, an antibody whose antigen is a bacterial body obtained by isolating and culturing a specific microorganism is produced, and the specific microorganism is treated by a specific antigen-antibody reaction. A method of confirming the presence in the tank has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-26110).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a procedure for producing a polyclonal antibody for detecting a microbial group in a biological treatment tank. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for detecting a reaction between a polyclonal antibody and a cell body of a microorganism. Here, the group of microorganisms in the biological treatment tank includes many kinds of microorganisms composed of protozoa and bacteria. First, the procedure for producing a polyclonal antibody will be described. In FIG. 1, first, in step ST1, a small amount of treated water is collected from a biological treatment tank in various known operating states such as a favorable operating state or a state where the treatment capacity is low, a high load state and a low load state. . Next, after removing sand and dirt in step ST2, all the cell bodies of the microbial group in the treated water are collected by centrifugation or the like. Sterilization is performed on the cell bodies of all the collected microorganisms in step ST3.
Solubilization or heat treatment with a surfactant (for example, 6
Antibodies are produced by using, as an antigen, one that has been subjected to any treatment of 0 to 100 ° C. The sterilization treatment may be performed with ultraviolet rays or an organic solvent. The sterilization treatment with an organic solvent may be a treatment such as phenol treatment, formalin treatment or alcohol treatment. Alternatively, instead of step ST3, in step ST4, antibody production may be performed using a membrane fraction extracted from a mixture of cell bodies of a plurality of types of microorganisms by ultrasonication or centrifugation. Then, in step ST5, the cell bodies obtained by the processing in step ST3 or step ST4 are injected into the blood of the vertebrate several times with an appropriate period, and in step ST6, the antigen-antibody reaction of the living body is performed. To produce a polyclonal antibody in the animal. After several weeks in step ST7, whole blood of the animal is collected to produce the produced polyclonal antibody (γ-globulin fraction). The antibody produced in step ST8 is stored in the sample tube or the like as it is or after being labeled with a fluorescent dye in step ST9. In general, the microbial species that predominate in biological treatment tanks vary greatly depending on the state of treated water (organic matter concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, etc.) (for example, when the dissolved oxygen amount is low, flagellates or dispersed species are used). Many bacteria are seen, but as the amount of dissolved oxygen increases, ciliates and filamentous bacteria appear). The polyclonal antibody produced by the method of FIG. 1 is a multiple antibody that specifically reacts with a plurality of dominant microorganisms in a biological treatment tank in a state (for example, in a good operating state) in which a group of microorganisms used as an antigen is collected. It does not contain the antibody molecules that are rich in the species antibody molecules, but are specific to the microorganisms that often appear in the treatment tanks in completely different states.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, a procedure for measuring the antigen reaction of the microorganism group in the treatment tank to be measured and the polyclonal antibody prepared by the procedure shown in FIG. 1 will be described. First, in step ST10, a part of the treated water is collected, and in step ST11, the cell bodies of the microorganism group are collected. next,
After mixing and reacting with the above antibody in step ST12,
Excess unreacted antibody is removed by washing in step ST13. This process may be performed in a state of being suspended in a solution or in a state in which microorganisms are fixed on a membrane. When a fluorescent dye-labeled antibody is used, in step ST14, the amount of the antibody that has reacted with the microorganism group is quantitatively detected from the intensity of fluorescence obtained by irradiating the excitation light.
When an antibody not labeled with a fluorescent dye is used, the reaction amount can be detected by using a commercially available fluorescently labeled secondary antibody or the like after the reaction with the cell body in step ST15. The above-mentioned polyclonal antibody is highly reactive with the microorganism group in the treated water in the state (for example, good operating state) from which the antigen was prepared in step ST9, but reacts as the state of the treatment tank changes. It is less reactive and reacts poorly to microbial populations that appear in completely different states (eg, significantly reduced throughput). Therefore, if the polyclonal antibody produced by the method of FIG. 1 is used, the microbial flora in the biological treatment tank and its change are quantitatively determined by the antigen-antibody reaction measurement shown in FIG. 2 once in step ST12. It will be possible. In addition, step ST16
It becomes possible to adjust and manage the operating conditions of the biological treatment tank by using this measured value as an index. In addition, if a plurality of types of polyclonal antibodies are produced using the microorganisms in the processing tank in various known operating states as antigens, and the above measurement is periodically performed for each, the state of the processing tank at that time, It is possible to know which state is changing, and the operation management of the processing tank can be easily performed using the determination as an index. By the above means, the determination of the microflora in the biological treatment tank can be performed in a short time and with little labor.
