Abstract
Biological process of degradation of formaldehyde and its derivatives present in furniture industry wastewater was studied. A biocenosis consisting of bacterial autochthonous microorganisms and methylotrophic yeast was constructed. It was shown that the introduction of methylotrophs into toxic wastewater enabled the development of organic life and the efficient biodegradation of various organic contaminants. The idea of generating active microbial community based on mixed pro- and eukaryotic biocenoses was proposed. Such a community could be applied to treat industrial wastewater containing lethal formaldehyde concentrations.
