INTRODUCTION: Effluent organic matter from biological wastewater treatment plants is composed of degradation products and soluble microbial products (SMP). Protein, polysaccharide, humic acid, and DNA were major biomolecules of SMP. Little is known about the effects of SMP as microbially derived precursors on disinfection byproduct formation and speciation in biologically treated wastewater. In addition, there has never been any attempt to directly chlorinate the major biomolecules of SMP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, model compounds (bovine serum albumin, starch, DNA, and humic acid) and SMP collected from a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) were chlorinated to verify the trihalomethane and haloacetic acid species that were produced from them. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The results showed that chloroform, dichlorobromomethane, dichloroacetic acid, and trichloroacetic acid were generated from the chlorination of SMP in the SBR, and there was a close relationship between the species predicted from the model chemical compounds and those obtained from the SMP.
