Comparison of factors influencing trichloroethylene degradation by toluene-oxidizing bacteria.
The degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) by toluene-oxidizing bacteria has been extensively studied, and yet the influence of environmental conditions and physiological characteristics of individual strains has received little attention. To consider these effects, the levels of TCE degradation by strains distinguishable on the basis of toluene and nitrate metabolism were compared under aerobi...
متن کاملSurvey of microbial oxygenases: trichloroethylene degradation by propane-oxidizing bacteria.
Microorganisms that biosynthesize broad-specificity oxygenases to initiate metabolism of linear and branched-chain alkanes, nitroalkanes, cyclic ketones, alkenoic acids, and chromenes were surveyed for the ability to biodegrade trichloroethylene (TCE). The results indicated that TCE oxidation is not a common property of broad-specificity microbial oxygenases. Bacteria that contained nitropropan...
متن کاملEffect of nitrogen source on growth and trichloroethylene degradation by methane-oxidizing bacteria.
The effect of nitrogen source on methane-oxidizing bacteria with respect to cellular growth and trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation ability were examined. One mixed chemostat culture and two pure type II methane-oxidizing strains, Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b and strain CAC-2, which was isolated from the chemostat culture, were used in this study. All cultures were able to grow with each of ...
متن کاملDegradation of Trichloroethylene by Bacteria Isolated from Activated Sludge
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most serious chlorinated pollutants of some groundwater of many industrial countries so that a possibility of its microbial degradation is an aim of many research and engineer teams. Natural strain C. testosteroni RF2 and its derivative strain VM obtained by mutagenesis were tested for their capability to trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation. Both strains we...
متن کاملDegradation of oil shale by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria.
Approximately 40% of oil shale can be solubilized by the action of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus concretivorous are equally effective in solubilization. Continuous leaching experiments show that this process can be completed within 14 days. The growth of Thiobacillus and the production of acid were measured under several conditions. Almost all of the CaMg(...
