Two methods for the separation of protein originating from activated sludge were compared. In one method, the total protein was isolated out of the activated sludge (crude extract). These samples included all dissolved proteins originating from the bacterial cells and biofilm made up of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Every time polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was done, the protein bands from samples of crude extract were covered by polymeric substances including carbohydrates, uronic acids or humic compounds. Using the immunoblot technique it was possible to demonstrate the presence of the heat shock protein HSP70 in crude extracts of activated sludge. The comparison of protein fingerprints required that clear and distinct bands appear on the PAGE analysis. To this end, a procedure to separates bacterial cells from the EPS was developed. Bacterial cells were separated by incubation with EDTA and subsequent filtration. The isolated cells were directly incubated in a sample buffer.

The excess activated sludge from the Shanghai Qingpu sewage treatment plant was hydrolyzed by papain hydrolysis to extract protein. The results showed that the conditions of optimal papain hydrolysis process are described as follows: enzyme/substrate 6%, pH 6.5, the ratio of liquid to solid 4:1, hydrolysis time 5.5h and hydrolysis temperature 55 °C. On this basis, the contents of heavy metals and some kinds of amino acid from the extracts, while security and nutrition were taken into consideration, were determined. The results showed that the contents of heavy metals were lower, living up to the Health Standard for Animal Feed (China), and some kinds of amino acid were essential for animal growth in the extracts. So it was possible to take the extracts as animal feed additives.
