A 60 kb Plasmid in mycobacterium (pip+) Involved in Degradation of Antihelminthic Drug (Piperazine)
The biodegradation of secondary amines is particularly important due to their propensity for conversion either chemically or microbiologically to N-nitrosamines which are potent carcinogens. In this research, a weak Gram-positive organism was isolated from river and identified as Mycobacterium. This Mycobacterium grows slowly and effectively utilizes piperazine as the sole source of organic, c...
متن کاملPlasmid transfer for enhancing degradation capabilities.
The kinetics of plasmid conjugation for the TOL and RP4 plasmids depend strongly on the donor cells' specific growth rate and substrate concentration, both of which determine the cells' energy availability. Although transfer rates can be large when energy availability is high, normal biological processes have low energy availability. Therefore, we propose and evaluate preliminarily a simple sch...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of ethylbenzene by a new type of marine sulfate-reducing bacterium.
Anaerobic degradation of the aromatic hydrocarbon ethylbenzene was studied with sulfate as the electron acceptor. Enrichment cultures prepared with marine sediment samples from different locations showed ethylbenzene-dependent reduction of sulfate to sulfide and always contained a characteristic cell type that formed gas vesicles towards the end of growth. A pure culture of this cell type, stra...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of ethylbenzene and toluene in denitrifying strain EbN1 proceeds via independent substrate-induced pathways.
Denitrifying strain EbN1 utilizes either ethylbenzene or toluene as the sole source of organic carbon under strictly anoxic conditions. When cells were grown on ethylbenzene, 1-phenylethanol and acetophenone were detected in the culture supernatant. However, these two compounds were not observed when cells were grown on benzoate. Growth on ethylbenzene, 1-phenylethanol, or acetophenone strictly...
متن کاملDegradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) by the lignin-degrading basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
Degradation of the BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-, m-, and p-xylenes) group of organopollutants by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was studied. Our results show that the organism efficiently degrades all the BTEX components when these compounds are added either individually or as a composite mixture. Degradation was favored under nonligninolytic culture conditions...
