Effects of some alkyl phenols on methanogenic degradation of phenol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of six phenolic compounds (o-, m-, and p-cresol and 2-, 3-, and 4-ethylphenol) on the anaerobic biodegradation of phenol was examined in batch methanogenic cultures. Results showed that ethylphenols were more inhibitory of phenol degradation than were cresols. The inhibitory effects of the three isomers of cresol and ethylphenol did not vary with the isomer but rather with the substituted functional group.

Catechol and phenol degradation by a methanogenic population of bacteria.
An anaerobic population of bacteria became acclimated to catechol and phenol in 32 and 18 days, respectively. Evidence from carbon balance measurements indicates that the aromatic ring is cleaved and that the products are stoichiometrically fermentable to methane and carbon dioxide.
متن کاملMethanogenic degradation of hydroquinone and catechol via reductive dehydroxylation to phenol
Fermentative degradation of hydroquinone, catechol, and phenol was demonstrated with nearly-homogeneous mixed methanogenic cultures obtained from freshwater sediments and sewage sludge by enrichment with the respective phenolic substrates. Gram-negative short rods predominated in these cultures, together with hydrogenand acetate-utilizirtg methanogens. Acetate and methane were the only degradat...
متن کاملDehalogenation and biodegradation of brominated phenols and benzoic acids under iron-reducing, sulfidogenic, and methanogenic conditions.
The anaerobic biodegradation of monobrominated phenols and benzoic acids by microorganisms enriched from marine and estuarine sediments was determined in the presence of different electron acceptors [i.e., Fe(III), SO4(2-), or HCO3-]. Under all conditions tested, the bromophenol isomers were utilized without a lengthy lag period whereas the bromobenzoate isomers were utilized only after a lag p...
متن کاملRapid Benzene Degradation in Methanogenic Sediments from a Petroleum-Contaminated Aquifer
In methanogenic sediments from a petroleum-contaminated aquifer, [14C]benzene was converted to 14CH4 and 14CO2 without an apparent lag. Phenol, acetate, and propionate were intermediates in benzene mineralization. These results suggest that alternative electron acceptors need not be available for there to be significant natural attenuation of benzene in some petroleum-contaminated aquifers.
متن کاملApplication of Triphenylphosphine for Facile Synthesis of Several Alkyl Acrylates from Heterocyclic Phenols
7-Hydroxycoumarine undergoes a smooth reaction with alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine (15 mol%) to produce the corresponding alkyl (E)-3-((2-oxo-2H-chromen- 7-yl)oxy)acrylate in good yields. When the reaction was performed by 3-hydroxyquinoline similar alkyl acrylates were obtained.
