During the biologic degradation process, the low mole- cular weight （MW） fraction （〈 1 kDa） gradually decreased, while the refractory compounds with higher aromaticity were aggregated. Size exclusion chromatogra- phy （SEC） and fluorescence of excitation emission matrices （EEM） demonstrated that more biopolymers （polysaccharides or proteins） and humic-like substances were presented in the extracellular polymeric substance （EPS） extracted from the SBR fed with sodium acetate or glucose, while the EPS from SBR fed with slowly biodegradable dissolved organic carbon （DOC） substrate- starch had relatively less biopolymers. Comparing the EfOM in sewage effluent of three SBRs, the effluent from SBR fed with starch is more aromatic. Organic carbon with MW 〉 1 kDa as well as the hydrophobic fraction in DOM gradually increased with the carbon sources changing from sodium acetate to glucose and starch. The DOC fractiona- tion and the EEM all demonstrated that EfOM from the effluent of the SBR fed with starch contained more fulvic acid-like substances comparing with the SBR fed with sodium acetate and glucose.展开更多
