Phytoremediation of trichloroethylene with hybrid poplars.
Axenic tumor cultures of poplar cells, clone H11-11, were grown in the presence of [14C]-trichloroethylene (TCE) (uniformly labeled). The cells were capable of metabolizing TCE to produce trichloroethanol, di- and trichloroacetic acid. Some of the carbon from TCE was found in insoluble, nonextractable cell residue, and small amounts were mineralized to [14C]CO2. Poplar cuttings grown in soil an...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a chlorinated hydrocarbon used as a solvent in many degreasing and dry-cleaning operations. TCE is one of the most widespread contaminants of soil and groundwater in the United States. It can be found at 50% of the Superfund National Priority List cleanup sites managed by the United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). According to the USEPA, TCE is also abo...
متن کاملNITROGEN NUTRITION OF HYBRID POPLARS By
By Shan Zhao, M.S. Washington State University August 2006 Chair: Jon D. Johnson Hybrid poplars are the result of interspecific crosses in the Populus genus and are genetically predisposed to grow faster and have wider adaptability than either parent species. They have been widely adopted for use in short rotation plantations in the Pacific Northwest for chips to make paper and for solid wood p...
متن کاملResilience of mycorrhizal fungi on defoliated and fertilized hybrid poplars
We examined the effects of fertilization and gypsy moth defoliation of hybrid poplar (Populus ×canadensis Moench ‘Eugenei’) on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization, ECM richness, and ECM composition in the summers of 1997 and 1998. The factorial experiment included two levels of defoliation (defoliated and control) and fertilization (100 kg N·ha–1 and contro...
متن کاملEfficient degradation of trichloroethylene by a hybrid aromatic ring dioxygenase.
Engineering of hybrid gene clusters between the toluene metabolic tod operon and the biphenyl metabolic bph operon greatly enhanced the rate of biodegradation of trichloroethylene. Escherichia coli cells carrying a hybrid gene cluster composed of todC1 (the gene encoding the large subunit of toluene terminal dioxygenase in Pseudomonas putida F1), bphA2 (the gene encoding the small subunit of bi...
