What is Monoxenic and mixed cultures of the small metazoa Philodina erythrophthalma and Aeolosoma hemprichi isolated from a waste-water treatment process about?

Philodina erythrophthalma (an euryphagous Rotatoria) and Aeolosoma hemprichi (a stenophagous Oligochaeta), isolated from a waste-water treatment process, were grown in m o n o x e n i c and mixed cultures using a variety of bacterial species as prey. In m o n o xenic cultures, P. erythrophthalma could grow by f e e d i n g on a wide range of bacterial species, while A. hemprichi exhibited a relatively high prey specificity. The growth rates o f P. erythrophthalma and A. hemprichi increased in the mixed culture, c o m p a r e d with those in the respective m o n o x e n i c cultures. Interestingly, the sizes of bacterial flocs were observed to increase in the presence o f Po erythrophthalma. On the basis o f the experimental results, the role o f metazoa in a waste-water purification process is discussed.
