Selection of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms in a biphasic aqueous-organic system.
Microbial selection on mixtures of chlorinated and nonchlorinated compounds that are poorly soluble in water and/or toxic to growing microbial cells was examined in both biphasic aqueous-organic and monophasic aqueous systems. A biphasic system in which silicone oil was used as the organic phase permitted the acceleration of acclimation, leading to rapid selection and to an increase in xenobiot...
متن کاملAqueous Biphasic Systems. Partitioning of Organic Molecules: A QSPR Treatment
The partitioning of 29 small organic probes in a PEG-2000/(NH4)2SO4 biphasic system was investigated using a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) approach. A three-descriptor equation with the squared correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.97 for the partition coefficient (log D) was obtained. All descriptors were derived solely from the chemical structure of the compounds. Using the ...
متن کاملCombination of microautoradiography and fluorescence in situ hybridization for identification of microorganisms degrading xenobiotic contaminants.
One of the central topics in environmental bioremediation research is to identify microorganisms that are capable of degrading the contaminants of interest. Here we report application of combined microautoradiography (MAR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The method has previously been used in a number of systems; however, here we demonstrate its feasibility in studying the degrad...
متن کاملNucleic acid removal from Taq polymerase preparations using an aqueous/organic biphasic system.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has revolutionized the molecular biology industry, with profound implications for medical, forensic and research sciences. Prerequisites for this technology to work include the presence of deoxynucleotriphosphates (dNTPs), a relevant buffering system, magnesium chloride, primers and template DNA and finally, the DNA polymerase. Taq polymerase, a thermostable ...
متن کاملEnumeration of petroleum-degrading microorganisms.
A variety of factors, including concentration of oil, antibiotics, dyes, and inoculum washes, were examined to determine their effect on the total counts of microorganisms on oil-containing media. The media found to be best for enumerating petroleum-degrading microorganisms contained 0.5% (vol/vol) oil and 0.003% phenol red, with Fungizone added for isolating bacteria and streptomycin and tetra...
