The Decomposition of 1-Chloro- and 1-Bromonaphthalene by Soil Bacteria

The Decomposition of Toluene by Soil Bacteria.

The Decomposition of Toluene by Soil Bacteria BY D

SUMMARY Strains of two bacteria, a Pseudomonas and an Achromobacter, which grow with toluene, benzene or certain other related aromatic compounds as sole carbon source were isolated from soil. The use of aromatic compounds by these bacteria was an induced phenomenon. Toluene-grown organisms oxidized without lag toluene, benzene, catechol, &methyl-catechol, benzyl alcohol and, more slowly, o-and...

Metabolism of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic Acid by soil bacteria.

A microorganism capable of degrading 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) was isolated from soil and identified as Flavobacterium peregrinum. All of the chlorine of MCPA was released as chloride, and the carboxyl-carbon was converted to volatile products by growing cultures of the bacterium, but a phenol accumulated in the medium. The phenol was identified as 4-chloro-2-methylphenol on th...

Study of 1-Chloro-4-Nitrobenzene adsorption on Carbon nanofibers by experimental design

In this study, the adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (1C4NB) on carbon nanofibers (CNFs), was investigated in a batch system. The combined effects of operating parameters such as contact time, pH, initial 1C4NB concentration, and CNFs dosage on the adsorption of 1C4NB byCNFs were analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM). The analysis of variance results confirmed that there was sig...
