Degradation of pentachlorophenol by polyurethane-immobilized Flavobacterium cells.
Polyurethane-immobilized Flavobacterium cells (ATCC 39723) degraded pentachlorophenol (PCP) at initial concentrations as high as 300 mg liter-1. The reversible binding of PCP to the polyurethane was shown to be important in the protection of the cells from inhibition of PCP degradation. The degradation activity of the bacteria was monitored for 150 days in semicontinuous batch reactors. The deg...
متن کاملDegradation of dimethylphthalate by cells of Bacillus sp. immobilized in calcium alginate and polyurethane foam.
A Bacillus sp. which is capable of degrading dimethylphthalate (DMP) was immobilized in calcium alginate and polyurethane foam for efficient and long term degradation of DMP. Freely suspended cells (10(12) cfu ml-1) degraded a maximum of 20 mM DMP. Whereas, alginate-(10(12)cfu g-1 beads) and polyurethane foam-entrapped (0.34 x 10(6-9) cfu g-1 foam cubes) cells degraded a maximum of 40 mM DMP wi...
متن کاملMutational analysis of pcpA and its role in pentachlorophenol degradation by Sphingomonas (Flavobacterium) chlorophenolica ATCC 39723.
Sphingomonas (Flavobacterium) chlorophenolica ATCC 39723 degrades pentachlorophenol (PCP) through a catabolic pathway encoded by multiple genes. One gene required for PCP degradation is pcpA, which encodes information for a 30-kDa polypeptide, PcpA, found in the periplasm of the bacterium. The biological role of PcpA has remained unknown. We disrupted pcpA by replacing it with a defective copy ...
متن کاملDegradation kinetics of pentachlorophenol by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
The extracellular enzymes and cell mass from the pregrown Phanerochaete chrysosporium cultures were used for the degradation of PCP. The use of both extracellular enzymes and cell mass resulted in extensive mineralization of PCP, while the action of only the crude extracellular enzymes led to the formation of a degradation intermediate (TCHD). A kinetic model, which describes the relationship a...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of Flavobacterium strains that degrade pentachlorophenol.
Bacteria able to mineralize 100 to 200 ppm of pentachlorophenol (PCP) were isolated by selective enrichment from PCP-contaminated soils from three geographic areas of Minnesota. Although differing somewhat in their responses to various biochemical and biophysical tests, all strains were assigned to the genus Flavobacterium. Five representative strains were examined in detail. All strains metabo...
