Substrate Inhibition Kinetics of Phenol Degradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescence

Substrate Inhibition Kinetics of Phenol Degradation by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (ncim 2074)

The biodegradation of phenol by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCIM 2074) was carried out in a batch system and the optimum conditions were determined. At an optimum pH 7, temperature 32°C, agitation speed 160 rpm, carbon source (glucose) 0.5 g/l, nitrogen source (ammonium chloride) 0.2 g/l, metal ion concentration (Zn) 0.02 g/l the percentage of phenol degradation was 80.45%. Phenol had a strong inhi...

Optimization of Endosulfan Degradation by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

A total of 68 isolates capable of degrading Endosulfan were obtained out of 27 samples collected. Among them 28 isolates showed better efficiencies in degrading Endosulfan as compared to others. Isolate ENS10 which showed 42% degradation of Endosulfan under unoptimized condition was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After optimization process it was able to show 100% degradation of chlorpyr...

EFFEct oF tEMPErAturE And cArBon on PHEnoL dEGrAdAtIon BY PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA (ncIM 2074)

Phenolic compounds are hazardous pollutants that are toxic relatively at low concentrations. Accumulation of phenol creates toxicity both for flora and fauna. Because of its toxicity, there is a need to decontaminate the phenol-laden soils. Hence, bioremediation is a very useful alternative to conventional clean-up methods. the aim of this work was to study the effect of two variables – tempera...

Degradation kinetics and pathway of phenol by Pseudomonas and Bacillus species

This article elucidates that strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IES-Ps-1) is a versatile toxic organic compound degrader. With the degradation of malathion and cypermethrin (studied by other researchers previously), this strain was able to degrade phenol. Two other indigenous soil flora (i.e., Pseudomonas sp. (IES-S) and Bacillus subtilis (IES-B)) were also found to be potential phenol degraders. P...
