Microbial degradation of polyethylene glycols.
Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycols and polyethylene glycols (PEG) with molecular weight up to 20,000 were degraded by soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa able to use a PEG of average molecular weight 20,000 was isolated from soil. Washed cells oxidized mono- and tetraethylene glycols, but O2 consumption was not detectable when such cells were incubated for short per...

Background: Persian Medicine is one of the oldest and richest complementary and alternative options in the field of medicine and has a comprehensive medical system. Henna oil is recommended in Persian Medicine for the treatment of numerous women’s diseases such as cervicitis. To date, henna has been used for many medical purposes, including astringent, bleeding, cardioinhibitory, hypotension, a...
متن کاملpolyethylene degradation by fungal consortium
polyethylene is a synthetic polymer which is used in our daily life for different purposes. increased use of polyethylene causes severe environmental problems. there are different methods to decrease problem caused by polyethylene for example source reduction, incineration and land filling and all of them have their own drawbacks. so, the best way to reduce the problem caused by polyethylene is...
متن کاملDegradation of polyethylene oxides during irradiation with uranium ions
This project focuses on polyepoxides used in glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) compounds, to be applied as insulators or structure-support materials for magnets of the future FAIR facility. As such, polyepoxides have to withstand high radiation levels of X-rays, gammas, neutrons, protons, and heavier particles [1]. Radiation hardness tests are important in order to estimate lifetimes and pe...
متن کاملMicrobial Degradation of Asphalt.
Organisms of the genera Pseudomonas, Chromobacterium, and Bacillus capable of degrading asphalt were isolated by enrichment cultures. The asphalt degradation by these organisms varied from 3 to 25% after incubation for 1 week. The effects of temperature, pH, and atmosphere of incubation on asphalt degradation were investigated and were shown to vary with different organisms on the same substrate.
