[Major results of research and development of heterogenous biocatalysts for regenerated water clearing from harmful admixture].

The biological method of clearing atmospheric condensate in pressurized habitats exploits filters with a heterogenic biocatalyst produced by way of immobilizing harmless for human, animal and plant microoganisms on water-insoluble solid carrier--foam polyvinyl-formal (FPVF), and a hydrogen peroxide biofilter containing triacetate cellulose-immobilized catalase. Experience of forming an immobilized bacterial association as a polyenzyme system is particularly promising for development of advanced biotechnologies. Biocatalysts with expanded applicability can be manufactured using a FPVF-immobilized associative bacterial culture composed of Paracoccus denitrificans, Pseudomonas esterophilus and Methilopila capsulata. In aerobic condition at room temperature the heterogenic biocatalyst is capable to transform harmful organics in atmospheric condensate, e.g. methyl amine, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, ethanol and acetone into the end-products, i.e. carbon dioxide and water. Ammonia is consumed by 3 cultures as a source of nitrogen.
