Degradation of terephthalic acid by a newly isolated strain of Arthrobacter sp.0574
Terephthalic acid is an important industrial chemical but its production typically generates 3–10 tons of wastewater, which is a significant source of pollution. Although recent research has shown that terephthalic acid can be degraded by physical and chemical methods, these methods are complex and expensive. Microbial degradation of terephthalic acid is a popular alternative because it is envi...
متن کاملDegradation of 3-Phenoxybenzoic Acid by a Bacillus sp
3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) is of great environmental concern with regards to endocrine disrupting activity and widespread occurrence in water and soil, yet little is known about microbial degradation in contaminated regions. We report here that a new bacterial strain isolated from soil, designated DG-02, was shown to degrade 95.6% of 50 mg·L(-1) 3-PBA within 72 h in mineral salt medium (MSM)...
متن کاملInitial degradation of dimethylphthalate by esterases from Bacillus species.
Dimethylphthalate (DMP), one of the phthalate esters, is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, insect repellents, and synthetic fibers, and contributes to environmental pollution. In the present study, we report a novel bacterium belonging to the Bacillus sp., which has the ability to utilize DMP as the sole source of carbon. The esterases from the cell-free extract of the Bacillus de-esteri...
متن کاملThe Pathway of Nicotinic Acid Oxidation by a Bacillus Species.
Bacteria able to grow with nicotinic acid as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen have been isolated by a number of investigators (l-5). Hughes et al. (6-10) found that Pseudomonas jlzwrescens initiates degradation of nicotinic acid by a hydroxylation to form 6-hydroxynicotinic acid and established that the responsible enzyme is located in a cell wall membrane fraction. An initial hydroxylation...
متن کاملExcretion and Degradation of Ribonucleic Acid by Bacillus Subtilis.
Demain, A. L. (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J.), R. W. Burg, and D. Hendlin. Excretion and degradation of ribonucleic acid by Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 89:640-646. 1965.-Bacillus subtilis MB-1480 was found to produce several 5'-ribonucleotides in the extracellular medium, in addition to the previously found 5'-guanosine monophosphate and guanosine diphosphate. The nucleotides accumulated...
