Abstract | Organic esters of phosphoric acid and other organophosphorous compounds are enzymatically hydrolyzed during wastewater treatment by microbial phosphoesterases, especially by phosphomonoesterase (phosphatase). For physiological reasons, the enzyme is inhibited by its main inorganic reaction product, ortho-phosphate. It is known that oxyanions of transition metals, resembling the molecular topology of ortho-phosphate, e.g. vanadate and tungstate, are more potent inhibitors for microbial alkaline phosphatase than phosphate. To proof this effect for activated sludge, a multitude of samples from a communal wastewater treatment plant was exposed at pH values from 7.00 to 8.50 to tungstate, vanadate, and molybdate. Inhibition effects were determined by a sensitive fluorimetric microplate assay and characteristic parameters (IC |
