omass was near that of the control test.
When referring to the reducing sugar concentration (Fig. 2B),
more reducing sugar was released into the pesticide-treated slurry
before 8 h accompanied by more sugar consumed at 8e16 h. The
reducing sugar concentration was 10.19% lower in 0.05 g L1
chlorothalonil-treated slurry than that in control test at 16 h.
However, sugar was utilized slowly in the following fermentation.
It was found that 66.50 g L1 reducing sugar still existed in the
treated broth whereas less than 1 g L1 reducing sugar existed in
the control test eventually. In addition, when the chlorothalonil
concentration was lower than 0.02 g L1
, the reducing sugar concentration
was not changed obviously or increased slightly.
