چکیده

We evaluated the competitive fitness of three phenanthrene-mineralizing isolates that were provided with nonsorbed or sorbed phenanthrene in competition experiments. One isolate had a clear advantage when presented with Amberlite IRC-50-sorbed phenanthrene, yet none were favored when presented with nonsorbed or Amberlite XAD-7-sorbed phenanthrene. Our results indicate that contaminant availability alone does not determine the isolates' competitive fitness.

Effect of model sorptive phases on phenanthrene biodegradation: molecular analysis of enrichments and isolates suggests selection based on bioavailability.

Reduced bioavailability of nonpolar contaminants due to sorption to natural organic matter is an important factor controlling biodegradation of pollutants in the environment. We established enrichment cultures in which solid organic phases were used to reduce phenanthrene bioavailability to different degrees (R. J. Grosser, M. Friedrich, D. M. Ward, and W. P. Inskeep, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. ...

Isolation of soil bacteria adapted to degrade humic acid-sorbed phenanthrene.

The goal of these studies was to determine how sorption by humic acids affected the bioavailability of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to PAH-degrading microbes. Micellar solutions of humic acid were used as sorbents, and phenanthrene was used as a model PAH. Enrichments from PAH-contaminated soils established with nonsorbed phenanthrene yielded a total of 25 different isolates represe...

Effects of Solution Chemistry on the Partitioning of Phenanthrene to Sorbed Surfactants

Solution chemistry effects on surfactant micelle formation, surfactant sorption on kaolinite, and phenanthrene partitioning to surfactant micelles and sorbed surfactants were studied. For the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), critical micelle concentration (cmc) values decreased with increasing ionic strength but were unaffected by pH changes. For the nonionic surfactant Tween 80...

Bioavailability of Labile and Desorption-resistant Phenanthrene Sorbed to Montmorillonite Clay Containing Humic Fractions

The biodegradation of 14C-labeled phenanthrene in the presence of particles of montmorillonite and fulvic and humic acid–montmorillonite complexes was studied in a batch system. A mathematical model that takes into account the contribution to mineralization by the slowly desorbing compound was used to calculate the initial mineralization rates. Sorption of phenanthrene to the particles was dete...

Isolation and Identification of Phenanthrene-degrading Bacteria and Increasing the Biodegrading Ability by Synergistic Relationship

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a large group of oil contaminants with carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects. The release of these compounds in soil destroys animals, plants and microbial diversity and has several negative impacts on physical properties of the soil including the destruction of soil aggregates reduction in pores, and increase in soil bulk density....
