چکیده

Bacterium T-52, cultured on ethylene glycol, readily oxidized glycolate and glyoxylate and exhibited elevated activities of ethylene glycol dehydrogenase and glycolate oxidase. Labeled glyoxylate was identified in reaction mixtures containing [C]-ethylene glycol, but no glycolate was detected. The most likely pathway of ethylene glycol catabolism by bacterium T-52 is sequential oxidation to glycolate and glyoxylate.

Biodegradation of ethylene glycol by a salt-requiring bacterium.

A gram-negative nonmotile rod which was capable of using 1,2-(14)C-ethylene glycol as a sole carbon source for growth was isolated from a brine pond, Great Salt Lake, Utah. The bacterium (ATCC 27042) required at least 0.85% NaCl for growth and, although the chloride ion was replaceable by sulfate ion, the sodium ion was not replaceable by potassium ion. The maximal concentration of salt tolerat...

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Ethanol and Ethylene Glycol onto Poly (o-Anisidine)-Nickel Composite Electrode

In this work, poly (o-Anisidine) (POA) was prepared by consecutive potential cycling in an acidic monomer solution at the surface of Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE). Nickel ions were dispersed into the polymer by immersing the electrode in NiSO4 solution. The prepared Ni/POA/CPE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Atomic Force Mic...

Bacterial utilization of ether glycols.

A soil bacterium capable of using oligo- and polyethylene glycols and ether alcohols as sole sources of carbon for aerobic growth was isolated. The effects of substituent groups added to the ether bonds on the acceptability of the compounds as substrates were studied. Mechanisms for the incorporation of two-carbon compounds were demonstrated by the observation that acetate, glyoxylate, ethylene...
