A small-scale method for screening of lignin-degrading microorganisms.
A new method to facilitate rapid screening of lignin-degrading microorganisms was developed. Fungal strains are cultivated in tissue culture plates containing C-ring-labeled dehydrogenation polymerizate (DHP) (synthetic lignin). Evolved CO(2) is trapped in barium-saturated filter paper and is detected by exposing the paper to X-ray film. Analysis of the autoradiograms, carried out by density me...
متن کاملScreening and Separation of Microorganisms Degrading PCBs.
We performed an assay to assess the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degradative capability and congener specificity of aerobic microorganisms. Microbial strains were isolated and separated from different types of soils in the Czech Republic, and their PCB-degrading abilities were compared. An industrial mixture of PCB congeners ranging from dichloro- to hexachlorobiphenyl and representing variou...
متن کاملEvaluation of some screening methods for the analysis of contaminants in recycled polyethylene terephthalate flakes.
A range of different analytical techniques were used to test recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flakes for potential chemical contaminants. The techniques used were headspace gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid extraction followed by GC-MS, supercritical-fluid extraction followed by GC-MS, and migration testing followed by elemental analysis using inductively ...
متن کاملConfinement-induced vitrification in polyethylene terephthalate
Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis performed on cold-drawn polyethylene terephthalate PET , cold crystallized annealed in the temperature interval 100–140 °C, reveals the presence of marginally glassy domains above the annealing temperature Ta. This suggests that the thermodynamic force driving crystallization causes the structural arrest of some noncrystalline domains. The latter thus need a ...
متن کاملIsolation of a novel cutinase homolog with polyethylene terephthalate-degrading activity from leaf-branch compost by using a metagenomic approach.
The gene encoding a cutinase homolog, LC-cutinase, was cloned from a fosmid library of a leaf-branch compost metagenome by functional screening using tributyrin agar plates. LC-cutinase shows the highest amino acid sequence identity of 59.7% to Thermomonospora curvata lipase. It also shows the 57.4% identity to Thermobifida fusca cutinase. When LC-cutinase without a putative signal peptide was ...
