Engineering bacteria for bioremediation.
The treatment of environmental pollution by microorganisms is a promising technology. Various genetic approaches have been developed and used to optimize the enzymes, metabolic pathways and organisms relevant for biodegradation. New information on the metabolic routes and bottlenecks of degradation is still accumulating, enlarging the available toolbox. With molecular methods allowing the chara...
متن کاملNovel methylotrophic bacteria isolated from the River Thames (London, UK).
Enrichment and elective culture for methylotrophs from sediment of the River Thames in central London yielded a diversity of pure cultures representing several genera of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, which were mainly of organisms not generally regarded as typically methylotrophic. Substrates leading to successful isolations included methanol, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimeth...
متن کاملBioremediation of toxic substances by mercury resistant marine bacteria.
Bioremediation of toxic substances includes microbe-mediated enzymatic transformation of toxicants to non-toxic, often assimilable, forms. Mercury-resistant marine bacteria are found to be very promising in dealing with mercury, and a host of other highly toxic heavy metals and xenobiotics. In the present studies we have shown that the Pseudomonas aeruginosa CH07 (NRRL B-30604) has been able to...
متن کاملThe use of thermophilic bacteria in accelerated hydrocarbon bioremediation
Successful bioremediation of hydrocarbon contamination in terrestrial as well as aquatic ecosystems is generally limited by the low bioavailability of hydrophobic pollutants. Considerably higher mass transfer rates and hydrocarbon solubilities can be obtained at higher temperatures, but so far approaches to bioremediation at increased temperature have hardly been investigated. The biotechnologi...
متن کاملSCREENING FOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA IN URINE SAMPLES
Chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. In some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. The urine samples that reached the laboratory of Shaheed Mustafa K...
