A novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for decolorization and degradation of Congo red
Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...
متن کاملAtrazine degradation in anaerobic environment by a mixed microbial consortium.
Atrazine degradation by anaerobic mixed culture microorganism in co-metabolic process and in absence of external carbon and nitrogen source was studied at influent atrazine concentration range of 0.5-15 mg/l. Wastewater of desired characteristic was prepared by the addition of various constituents in distilled water spiked with atrazine. In co-metabolic process, dextrose of various concentratio...
متن کاملMethyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) degradation by a microbial consortium.
The widespread use of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive has resulted in a large number of cases of groundwater contamination. Bioremediation is often proposed as the most promising alternative after treatment. However, MTBE biodegradation appears to be quite different from the biodegradation of usual gasoline contaminants such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene (B...
متن کاملGrowth kinetics of an indigenous mixed microbial consortium during methylene chloride degradation in a batch reactor
−Biodegradation of methylene chloride by a mixed microbial culture, isolated from a common sewage treatment plant, was investigated in a batch system. Batch experiments were performed at room temperature (27 C) and pH value of 7. The methylene chloride concentration in growth media varied from 25 mgl to 250 mgl. A maximum observed degradation was 1 mglh at 100 mgl of methylene chloride. The cul...
متن کاملdegradation of technical grade hexachlorocyclohexane in soil slurry by a defined microbial consortium
hexachlorocyclohexane, an organochlorine insecticide has been used in agriculture and public health programmes since a very long time. it is very resistant to degradation and thus accumulates in the environment for long time. a microbial consortium was developed in our laboratory which could degrade hexachlorocyclohexane very efficiently in water. a study was carried out to understand the biode...
