polyethylene degradation by fungal consortium
polyethylene is a synthetic polymer which is used in our daily life for different purposes. increased use of polyethylene causes severe environmental problems. there are different methods to decrease problem caused by polyethylene for example source reduction, incineration and land filling and all of them have their own drawbacks. so, the best way to reduce the problem caused by polyethylene is...
متن کاملAnaerobic degradation of toluene and o-xylene by a methanogenic consortium.
Toluene and o-xylene were completely mineralized to stoichiometric amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, and biomass by aquifer-derived microorganisms under strictly anaerobic conditions. The source of the inoculum was creosote-contaminated sediment from Pensacola, Fla. The adaptation periods before the onset of degradation were long (100 to 120 days for toluene degradation and 200 to 255 days fo...
متن کاملCascades to substituted indoles.
This paper describes the synthesis of dithioindoles from the free-radical cyclizations of arylisonitriles having pendant alkynes. Also described is the synthesis of substituted indoles and spiro-fused indoles from the coupling of dithioindoles with active hydrogen-containing compounds.
متن کاملIdentification and expression of benzylsuccinate synthase genes in a toluene-degrading methanogenic consortium.
Benzylsuccinate synthase (BSS) initiates anaerobic toluene biodegradation, and BSS genes have been found in several nitrate- and iron-reducing organisms. Here, two new putative bssA genes were identified in a methanogenic toluene-degrading culture. Transcription was upregulated with toluene but not with benzoate, consistent with the proposed function. These are the first bss sequences from a me...
متن کاملMetabolism of 3-methylindole by a methanogenic consortium.
A methanogenic 3-methylindole (3-MI)-degrading consortium, enriched from wetland soil, completely mineralized 3-MI. Degradation proceeded through an initial hydroxylation reaction forming 3-methyloxindole. The consortium was unable to degrade oxindole or isatin, suggesting a new pathway for 3-MI fermentation.
