The isolation of microorganisms capable of phenol degradation.
The results of a study on the composition of microflora settling the pilot biofilter bed that purifies the exhausting gases from a cable factory's coil-wire varnishing division are presented in this study. The ability of isolated bacterial strains to biodegrade phenol was also evaluated using culture media of various compositions. Phenol was introduced into the medium at the following concentra...
متن کاملHerbicide Metolachlor Causes Changes in Reproductive Endocrinology of Male Wistar Rats
S-metolachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide widely used in the agriculture to control weeds and was demonstrated that it increases the activity of the aromatase enzyme in cell cultures, which may culminate as endocrine disruption action in vivo. To investigate this hypothesis, prepubertal Wistar male rats were exposed to metolachlor (5 or 50 mg/kg/day, NOEL for reproductive toxicity: 23.5-26...
متن کاملIsolation of microorganisms capable of degrading isoquinoline under aerobic conditions.
Isoquinoline-degrading microbial cultures were isolated from oil- and creosote-contaminated soils. The establishment of initial enrichment cultures required the use of emulsified isoquinoline. Once growth on isoquinoline was established, isoquinoline emulsification was no longer required for utilization of isoquinoline as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen by these cultures. An isoquinoline...
متن کاملIsolated Fecal Microorganisms Capable of 7 Α-dehydroxylating Bile Acids
Strains of microorganisms capable of 7alpha-dehydroxylation of chenodeoxycholate were isolated from rat and human feces. All the strains were strictly anaerobic, non-motile, moderately themioresistant Gram-positive rods. They showed some saccharolytic properties with the production of both acid and gas. They were H(2)S-positive but indole-, skatole-, citrate-, catalase-, and oxidase-negative. T...
متن کاملPredicting and Mapping Herbicide–Soil Partition Coefficients for EPTC, Metribuzin, and Metolachlor on Three Colorado Fields
Understanding the spatial variability of herbicide sorption to soil is important in determining the bioavailability as well as leaching potential of the chemical across a field. Multiple methods have been used to estimate herbicide sorption variability at the macroscale, but it has been difficult to measure soil heterogeneity or herbicide sorption at the individual field level. One method to de...
