Biodegradation of Benzene under Anaerobic Condition using Enriched Microbial Culture
Benzene is a highly toxic organic contaminant having carcinogenic potential and a serious ground water contaminant. Refinery industry is a major source of benzene contamination in the environment. The present paper focuses on biodegradation of benzene under anaerobic condition by using enriched microbial consortium. Enriched bacterial isolates, identified by 16S rRNA sequencing technique were t...
متن کاملBiodegradation of crude oil by immobilized microbial cells in alginate beads produced by electrospraying technique
Background and Objective: Petroleum compounds are major contributors to aquatic environmental pollution. In recent years, biological treatments as environmental-friendly and cost-effective techniques have been used alongside the various physico-chemical methods. Microbial cell immobilization in hydrogel carriers has been the focus of researchers due to various advantages such as ease of microbi...
متن کاملMicrobial biodegradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in various ecosystems and are pollutants of great concern due to their potential toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. Because of their hydrophobic nature, most PAHs bind to particulates in soil and sediments, rendering them less available for biological uptake. Microbial degradation represents the major mechanism responsible for the ...
متن کامل7. Microbial biodegradation of polyurethane
Polyurethane (PU) is a general term used for a class of polymers derived from the condensation of polyisocyanate and polyol. Polyurethanes are an important and versatile class of manmade polymers used in a wide variety of products in the medical, automotive and industrial fields. Depending on the chemical structures of the polyisocyanates and polyols, PU can adopt various forms ranging from fle...
متن کاملThe Formation of Intermediates in EDTA and NTA Biodegradation
Widely used anthropogenic chelating agents EDTA and NTA are ubiquitous in wastewaters and natural waters. Chelating agents may enhance the mobility of heavy metals and radionuclides or increase eutrophication. Biodegradation of these chelates may reduce metal mobility, offering a remediation solution. Formation of metabolic intermediates was previously reported during the biodegradation of EDTA...
