The screening of microorganisms capable of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) biodegradation.
As a result of examinations carried out, 16 strains of microorganisms able to grow on mineral media with methyl tert-butyl ether as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated. Bacteria prevailed among the isolated microorganisms. The growth of microorganisms under laboratory conditions was long and accompanied by low biomass increase. Under the conditions of the experiment, the isolated...
متن کاملRapid Biodegradation of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) by Pure Bacterial Cultures
Two pure bacterial strains capable of rapid degrading methyl tert–butyl ether (MTBE) were isolated from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, identified and characterized. These strains are able to grow on MTBE as the sole carbon and energy sources and completely mineralize it to the biomass and carbon dioxide. The strains were identified as Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella terrigena. Bot...
متن کاملMethyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) bioremediation studies
The massive production of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a primary constituent of reformulated gasoline, combined with its mobility, persistence and toxicity, makes it an important pollutant. It was considered recalcitrant until a few years ago, but recently MTBE biodegradation in aerobic conditions has been demonstrated with both mixed and pure cultures. Mixed cultures are generally the more ...
متن کاملCometabolism of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) with alkanes
The release of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) to the environment, mainly from damaged gasoline underground storage tanks or distribution systems spills, has provoked extended groundwater pollution. Biological treatments are, in general, a good alternative for bioremediation of polluted sites; however, MTBE elimination from environment has constituted a challenge because of its chemical structur...
متن کاملisolation and initial characterization of a pure cultures capable to degradation methyl tert- butyl ether (mtbe)
methyl tert-butyl ether (mtbe), a gasoline octane enhancer, was introduced as a substitute for lead tetraethyl over 30 years ago. widespread use of mtbe in gasoline, has introduced mtbe into the environment compartments, mostly into the under ground and surface water and water as a second most frequently detected contaminant. in this study, we have isolated pure cultures from bacterial consorti...
