Activated sludge biodegradation of 12 commercial phthalate esters.
The activated sludge biodegradability of 12 commercial phthalate esters was evaluated in two test systems: (i) a semicontinuous activated sludge test and (ii) an acclimated 19-day die-away procedure. Both procedures demonstrated that phthalate esters are rapidly biodegraded under activated sludge conditions when loss of the parent phthalate ester (primary degradation) is measured.
متن کاملBiodegradation of mono-alkyl phthalate esters in natural sediments.
Mono-alkyl phthalate esters (MPEs) are primary metabolites of di-alkyl phthalate esters (DPEs), a family of industrial chemicals widely used in the production of soft polyvinyl chloride and a large range of other products. To better understand the long term fate of DPEs in the environment, we measured the biodegradation kinetics of eight MPEs (-ethyl, -n-butyl, -benzyl, -i-hexyl, -2-ethyl-hexyl...
متن کاملSporulation of Myxococcus xanthus in liquid shake flask cultures.
When suspended in a liquid starvation medium, exponentially growing Myxococcus xanthus sporulated within 3 days. These myxospores were similar to spores developed within fruiting bodies, as determined by electron microscopy and the production of spore-specific protein S. This liquid sporulation system may be useful as a means of preparing large quantities of myxospores and extracellular fluid f...
متن کاملExposure to phthalate esters.
The American Chemistry Council Phthalate Esters Panel read with great interest the paper by Blount et al. (1) regarding urinary levels of phthalate ester metabolites in a sample set of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) population. We have known for some time of this research, and have provided whatever information and assistance we could to the Centers for ...
متن کاملRelationship between biodegradation and sorption of phthalate esters and their metabolites in natural sediments.
Regulatory evaluations of commercial chemicals in Canada, the United States, the European Union, and other countries aim to identify biodegradation rates of chemicals in natural soils and sediments. However, commonly used biodegradation testing methods are limited in their capacity to determine biodegradation rates under natural environmental conditions. As a result, widely varying biodegradati...
