An isocratic ion pair RP-HPLC method with UV-Vis detection has been developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of 4-nitrophenol (PNP), 4-nitrophenyl β-glucuronide (PNP-G), and 4-nitrophenyl sulfate (PNP-S) in rat bile samples using 4-ethylphenol (ETP) as internal standard. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C(18) column by isocratic elution with a mobile phase consisted of meth...

Microbial enzymes are important tools that frequently used in the field of biotechnology. These microbial enzymes, which play a role intracellular biological reactions, many different industries. Lipase, proteases and amylases members hydrolytic enzymes. Lipase enzyme, has most common usage area among is an enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis ester bonds between lipid molecules. The activity lipase com...

A Pseudomonas cepacia strain RKJ 200 capable of utilising p-nitrophenol (PNP+) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy was isolated by selective enrichment. The degradation of PNP by this strain proceeds through an oxidative route as indicated by the accumulation of nitrite molecules in the culture medium. Initial studies indicate that the degradation of PNP occurs via hydroquinone a...

In order to examine the microbial degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) by a mixed culture system and simultaneous removal of nitrite released via the degradation, an activated sludge retained in porous carrier particles and a suspension culture as a control were acclimated to artificial sewage containing PNP as the sole carbon source. The adaptation of microbes retained in porous carrier particle...

4 Nitrophenol (NP) or para nitrophenol (PNP) is one of the emerging pollutants from pesticides industries and it a major discharge any phenol consuming industry also severs as pharmaceutical wastewater. Design development photocatalytic treatment p-nitrophenol particularly to suit recovery reuse catalyst will aid in its commercial scale development. P-nitrophenol degradation has been studied ce...

the present work was carried out to evaluate the removal of p-nitrophenol by adsorption onto olive cake based activated carbon having a bet surface area of 672 m²/g. the batch adsorption experimental results indicated that the equilibrium time for nitrophenol adsorption by olive cake-based activated carbon was 120min. the adsorption data was modeled by equilibrium and kinetic models. the pseudo...

The degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) by Moraxella and Pseudomonas spp. involves an initial monooxygenase-catalyzed removal of the nitro group. The resultant hydroquinone is subject to ring fission catalyzed by a dioxygenase enzyme. We have isolated a strain of an Arthrobacter sp., JS443, capable of degrading PNP with stoichiometric release of nitrite. During induction of the enzymes required ...

Pseudomonas cepacia RKJ200 (now described as Burkholderia cepacia) has been shown to utilize p-nitrophenol (PNP) as sole carbon and energy source. The present work demonstrates that RKJ200 utilizes 4-nitrocatechol (NC) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy, and is degraded with concomitant release of nitrite ions. Several lines of evidence, including thin layer chromatography, gas c...

The chemical and petrochemical industries produce wastewaters containing ammonium and phenolic compounds. Biological treatment of these wastewaters could be problematic due to the possible inhibitory effects exerted by phenolic compounds. The feasibility of performing simultaneous nitritation and p-nitrophenol (PNP) biodegradation using a continuous aerobic granular reactor was evaluated. A nit...

Congestive heart failure has been shown to affect oxidative drug metabolism, however, there has been little study of its effects on drug conjugation. Using the isolated perfused livers from rats with right ventricular failure (RVF) due to pulmonary artery constriction, we studied the effects of RVF on hepatic elimination of p-nitrophenol (PNP) under controlled flow and oxygen delivery condition...
