The model cationic molecule prodigiosin interacted with a polyamide/polysulfone composite reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, resulting in a reduction of the membrane permeation rate. Prodigiosin is an antibacterial agent produced bySerratia marcescensthat is frequently isolated from activated sludge of domestic or industrial wastewater. Such molecules respectively secreted or leaked from live or dead cells are thought to affect membrane biofouling. In this study, a cell suspension containing prodigiosin-producingS. marcescensAS-1 wild-type or the non-producing AS-1ΔspnIstrain was fed to the thin RO membrane to determine the occlusion ratio on the membrane. Cationic prodigiosin enhanced membrane biofouling by clogging the pores and enhanced the accumulation of the cake layer. The effects remarkably recovered the occlusion ratio after removing the cake layer by feeding with water. After temporary pressure relief, the occlusion ratios for AS-1 and AS-1ΔspnIwere recovered to stable levels from approximately 70 to 49% and 23%, respectively. Zetapotential analysis supported the neutralization effects leading to the accumulation of bacterial cells under applied high pressure for RO membrane permeation.
