In vitro degradation of linamarin by microorganisms isolated from cassava wastewater treatment lagoons
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study aimed at isolating and characterizing of microorganisms able to use linamarin as sole carbon source. Thirty one microbial strains were isolated from manipueira, a liquid effluent of cassava processing factories. Among these strains, Bacillus licheniformis (isolate 2_2) and Rhodotorulla glutinis (isolate L1) were able to degrade 71% and 95% of added linamarin, respectively, within 7 days, showing high biodegradation activity and great potential for detoxification of cassava processing wastewaters.

Generation of cyanogen-free transgenic cassava
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) is the major source of calories for subsistence farmers in subSaharan Africa. Cassava, however, contains potentially toxic levels of the cyanogenic glucoside, linamarin. The cyanogen content of cassava foods can be reduced to safe levels by maceration, soaking, rinsing and baking; however, short-cut processing techniques can yield toxic food products. Our obj...

The expansion of a microbial bank for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is crucial for removal of these persistent pollutants. In this study, five gram-negative, aerobic, non-fermentative bacterial strains (III-R3, IV-P11, IV-P13, IV-R13, and V-P18) were isolated from the activated sludge of a petrochemical wastewater treatment plant using enrichment pro tocol based on...
متن کاملChronic consumption of cassava juice induces cellular stress in rat substantia nigra
Objective(s): Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) contains cyanogenic glycosides (linamarin and lotaustralin) that have been associated with neurological disorders in humans and rats. In basal ganglia, the dopaminergic neurons of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) show high cytotoxic susceptibility; therefore, the chronic consumption of cassava (CCC) could induce neu...
متن کاملGrowth and cyanide degradation of Azotobacter vinelandii in cyanide-containing wastewater system.
Azotobacter vinelandii, a strict aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, has been extensively studied with regard to the ability of N2-fixation due to its high expression of nitrogenase and fast growth. Because nitrogenase can also reduce cyanide to ammonia and methane, cyanide degradation by A. vinelandii has been studied for the application in the bioremediation of cyanide-contaminated wastewater....

The metabolism of linamarin [2(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)isobutyronitrile] was investigated in male albino Wistar rats and using rat liver microsomal preparations. In the in vitro experiments incubations of varying concentrations of linamarin at pH 6.0-6.5 with liver microsomal preparations resulted in rapid degradation of the substrate without concomitant production of any detectable amount of ...
