Catechol and phenol degradation by a methanogenic population of bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Methanogenic 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 کاملMethanogenic degradation of lignin-derived monoaromatic compounds by microbial enrichments from rice paddy field soil
Anaerobic degradation of lignin-derived aromatics is an important metabolism for carbon and nutrient cycles in soil environments. Although there are some studies on degradation of lignin-derived aromatics by nitrate- and sulfate-reducing bacteria, knowledge on their degradation under methanogenic conditions are quite limited. In this study, methanogenic microbial communities were enriched from ...
متن کاملPhenol degradation and genotypic analysis of dioxygenase genes in bacteria isolated from sediments
The aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria is performed by dioxygenases. To show some characteristic patterns of the dioxygenase genotype and its degradation specificities, twenty-nine gram-negative bacterial cultures were obtained from sediment contaminated with phenolic compounds in Wuhan, China. The isolates were phylogenetically diverse and belonged to 10 genera. All 29 gram-...

Phenolic compounds are widely distributed toxic pollutants in seawater, and their effective degradation is very important for bioremediation programs. In this study, nine phenol-degrading bacteria were isolated from seawater samples, which were collected from the coastal areas of Japan. Besides the enrichment substrate phenol, all isolates could utilize at least one isomer of cresol as the sole...
متن کاملFAME profiles in Pseudomonas vesicularis during catechol and phenol degradation in the presence of glucose as an additional carbon source.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of catechol and phenol added to culture media separately and with glucose as an additional, easily-degradable carbon source on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition in Pseudomonas vesicularis. Simultaneously, the degradation rates of aromatic substrates used were investigated in single and binary substrate systems. Both catechol and phenol t...
