چکیده مقاله:
Background: Phenol is an aromatic pollutant in industrial wastes that in combination with salts is highly toxic for all forms of life. Phenol elimination is the foremost challenge to meet the goal of pollutant-free environment. Objective: The present study was carried out to isolate phenol degrading bacteria which can degrade phenol under saline conditions and to identify the isolated strains using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Material and Methods: Sediment samples were collected from Rawal Lake, Islamabad, Pakistan and enriched in mineral salt medium (MSM) containing phenol (150 mg.L-1). Isolated strains were identified on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Growth of strains were tested at different pH, NaCl concentrations and temperature using Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA). Tolerance to phenol (0-750 mg.L-1) was checked at 5% NaCl and phenol degrading experiment was performed at 4% NaCl, pH 7 and 30 oC. In both, phenol tolerance and degradation study, phenol was used a sole source of carbon and energy. Results: Thirteen bacterial strains were isolated after enrichment among which, NIGAB-1 was found capable of degrading phenol in saline conditions. This strain was identified as Bacillus sp.NIGAB-1on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the closest match was Bacillus marisflavi with 99.71% sequence identity. The Bacillus sp.NIGAB-1 exhibited best growth at 30 oC at pH 7 with 10% NaCl. The optimum phenol concentration for growth was recorded as 300 mg.L-1. This strain degraded 300 mg.L-1 of phenol at 4% NaCl in 120 hours with the average degradation rate of 2.63 mg.L-1.h. Conclusion: These findings suggest that this strain could be efficient in phenol degradation at adverse environmental conditions and helpful in remediation of phenol where the salt concentration is high.

Flourene and phenanthrene are organic compounds with high hydrophobicity and toxicity. Being recalcitrant in nature they are accumulating in the environment at an alarming concentration, posing serious threat to living beings. Thus in the present study, microorganisms were screened for their ability to degrade these contaminants at high concentrations in least period of time. Two out of fifteen...

A locally isolated Acinetobacter sp. Strain AQ5NOL 1 was encapsulated in gellan gum and its ability to degrade phenol was compared with the free cells. Optimal phenol degradation was achieved at gellan gum concentration of 0.75% (w/v), bead size of 3 mm diameter (estimated surface area of 28.26 mm(2)) and bead number of 300 per 100 ml medium. At phenol concentration of 100 mg l(-1), both free a...

Three mutant strains of Arabidopsis thaliana var Columbia were selected for their ability to germinate in elevated concentrations of NaCI. They were not more tolerant than wild type at subsequent development stages. Wild-type strains could not germinate at concentrations >125 mM NaCI. l w o of the mutant strains, RS17 and RS20, could withstand up to 225 mM, whereas RS19 was resistant to 175 mM....
