The inhibition of tetrachloroethene (PCE) degradation in anaerobic, ethanol-fed PCE-enrichment cultures by chlorofluorocarbon 113 (CFC113) was a function of the initial CFC113 concentration. Typically, aqueous CFC113 concentrations up to 1 mg/L slowed, but did not stop PCE-degradation, but cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) degradation was inhibited by 0.2 mg/L CFC113. In some cultures, however, PCE degradation was stopped by as little as 0.15 mg/L CFC113. CFC113 also slowed the consumption of hydrogen and the concurrent methane production. CFC113 slowly degraded in PCE-enrichment cultures to hydrochlorofluorocarbon 123a (HCFC123a). Chlorotrifluoroethene was also detected. Although relatively non-toxic, CFC113 may nevertheless pose remediation challenges when present at sites that also contain PCE. 相似文献

The current knowledge on microbial reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes (CEs) and its application are discussed. Physiological studies on CEs dechlorinating microorganisms indicate that a distinction can be made between cometabolic dechlorination and halorespiration. Whereas cometabolic dechlorination is a coincidental and nonspecific side reaction, catalyzed by several methanogenic and acetogenic bacteria, halorespiration is a specific enzymatic reaction from which metabolic energy can be gained. In contrast to the well-studied biological dechlorination of PCE to cis-DCE, little is known about the biology of the further dechlorination from cis-DCE to ethene. Bacteria performing the latter reaction have not yet been isolated. Microbial reductive dechlorination can be applied to the in situ bioremediation of CEs contaminated sites. From laboratory and field studies, it has become clear that the dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-clichloroethene (cis-DCE) occurs rapidly and can be stimulated relatively easily. However, complete reduction to ethene appears to be a slower process that is more difficult to achieve. 相似文献

Bioreaction calorimetric studies of degradation of the dye acid blue 113 by Staphylococcus lentus are reported for the first time. The heat released during the dye degradation process can be successfully measured using reaction calorimeter. Power time and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) profile followed each other suggesting that heat profiles could monitor the progress of the dye degradation in biocalorimetry. The shifts observed in power–time profile indicated three distinct phases of the bioprocess indicating simultaneous utilization of glucose (primary) and dye (secondary carbon source). Secretion of azoreductase enzyme enhanced the degradation process. Optimization of aeration and agitation rates was observed to be vital to efficient dye degradation. The degradative pathway for acid blue 113 by S. lentus was delineated via high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) analyses. Interestingly the products of degradation were found to have low toxicity, as per cytotoxicity measurements. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol. Prog., 2012 相似文献

Biodegradation of Residual Dense Nonaqueous-Phase Liquid Tetrachloroethene: Effects on Mass Transfer
The mass emissions rate of contaminants from nonaqueous-phase liquids (NAPLs) is a driving factor in remediation efforts, whether those efforts are designed to remove, transform, or stabilize the entrapped NAPL or down-gradient aqueous concentrations. Enhancement of mass flux from NAPL source zones has been previously reported in the presence of microbial reductive dechlorination activity in systems containing NAPL with a low proportion of tetrachloroethene (PCE) or a low residual saturation (e.g., 2%). The results reported here demonstrate reductive dechlorination of PCE at residual saturations of 35%, obtained under two different column flow velocities and NAPL configurations. Mass flux in biotic columns was approximately 45% greater than that in uninoculated columns, due to both the presence of daughter products and higher concentrations of PCE in the effluent from biotic columns. Daughter product concentrations were greater in columns with NAPL emplaced only in the lower quarter compared to those with NAPL throughout, and in columns run at the slower velocity. The elevated PCE concentrations in biotic column effluents suggest the influence of microbially generated surfactants, which was supported by surface tension measurements. These results demonstrate the potential significance of bioactivity within NAPL source zones on NAPL longevity and down-gradient aqueous concentrations. 相似文献

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) use as a general biocide, particularly for treating wood, has led to widespread environmental contamination. Biodegradation has emerged as the main mechanism for PCP degradation in soil and groundwater and a key strategy for remediation. Examining the microbial biodegrading potential for PCP at a contaminated site is crucial in determining its fate. Hundreds of studies have been published on PCP microbial degradation, but few have described the biodegradation of PCP that has been in contact with soils for many years. The bioavailability of “aged” hydrophobic organics is a significant concern. PCP- and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (2,3,4,6-TeCP)-contaminated soil samples from several depths at a former wood treatment site were placed under varying conditions in the laboratory to determine the anaerobic and aerobic potential for biodegradation of chlorophenols at the site. PCP biodegradation occurred in both anaerobic and aerobic soil samples. Rapid aerobic degradation occurred in samples spiked with 2- and 4-chlorophenol, but not with 3-chlorophenol. Reductive dechlorination of PCP in anaerobic samples resulted in the accumulation of 3-chlorophenol. In most anaerobic replicates, 3-chlorophenol was degraded with the appearance of detectable, but not quantifiable amounts of phenol. These results indicate excellent potential for remediation at the site using the indigenous microorganisms under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, a fraction of the PCP was unavailable for degradation. 相似文献

Mixed cultures capable of dechlorinating chlorinated ethanes and ethenes were enriched from contaminated wetland sediment at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Maryland. The “West Branch Consortium” (WBC-2) was capable of degrading 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TeCA), trichloroethene (TCE), cis and trans 1,2-dichloroethene (DCE), 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,2-dichloroethane, and vinyl chloride to nonchlorinated end products ethene and ethane. WBC-2 dechlorinated TeCA, TCA, and cisDCE rapidly and simultaneously. A Clostridium sp. phylogenetically closely related to an uncultured member of a TCE-degrading consortium was numerically dominant in the WBC-2 clone library after 11 months of enrichment in culture. Clostridiales, including Acetobacteria, comprised 65% of the bacterial clones in WBC-2, with Bacteroides (14%), and epsilon Proteobacteria (14%) also numerically important. Methanogens identified in the consortium were members of the class Methanomicrobia, which includes acetoclastic methanogens. Dehalococcoides did not become dominant in the culture, although it was present at about 1% in the microbial population. The WBC-2 consortium provides opportunities for the in situ bioremediation of sites contaminated with mixtures of chlorinated ethenes and ethanes. 相似文献

Metallothioneins constitute a class of ubiquitously occurring low molecular mass proteins (6–7 kDa) possessing two cysteine thiolate-based metal clusters usually formed by the preferential binding of d10 metal ions such as Zn II and Cd II. The three-dimensional solution structure of mammalian proteins has been determined by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy of 113Cd7-metallothionein. The structure shows two protein domains encompassing the M3(CysS)9- and M4(CysS)11-cluster with each metal ion being tetrahedrally coordinated by thiolate ligands. The application of 113Cd NMR proved to be indispensable in the structural studies of metallothioneins. Thus, both homonuclear 113Cd decoupling studies and 113Cd-113Cd COSY of 113Cd7-metallothionein established the existence of two metal-thiolate clusters in this protein. The identification of sequence specific cysteine-cadmium coordinative bonds came from heteronuclear 113Cd-1H COSY experiments. Independently, the 113Cd NMR characterization of the intermediate metal-protein complexes, leading to the cluster structure in 113Cd7- metallothionein, revealed a stepwise cluster formation process with the Cd4(CysS)11-cluster being formed first. The recent demonstration of a Karplus-like dependence between the heteronuclear 3J(113 Cd,1 H) coupling constants for the cysteine C protons and the H-C: -S -Cd dihedral angles should allow to derive the geometry of the Cd-(S-Cys) centers in various metallothioneins and related metalloproteins. A possible application of 113Cd NMR to the study of metallothioneins in the environment is discussed. 相似文献

Potential for Aerobic and Anaerobic Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Boreal Subsurface 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We studied the role of aerobic and anaerobic petroleum hydrocarbon degradation at a boreal, light-weight fuel and lubrication oil contaminated site undergoing natural attenuation. At the site, anoxic conditions prevailed with high concentrations of CH4 (up to 25% v/v) and CO2 (up to 18% v/v) in the soil gas throughout the year. Subsurface samples were obtained mainly from the anoxic parts of the site and they represented both the unsaturated and saturated zone. The samples were incubated in microcosms at near in situ conditions (i.e. in situ temperature 8 degrees C, aerobic and anaerobic conditions, no nutrient amendments) resulting in the removal of mineral oil (as determined by gas chromatography) aerobically as well as anaerobically. In the aerobic microcosms on average 31% and 27% of the initial mineral oil was removed during a 3- and 4-month incubation, respectively. In the anaerobic microcosms, on average 44% and 15% of the initial mineral oil was removed during a 12- and 10-month anaerobic incubation, respectively, and e.g. n-alkanes from C11 to C15 were removed. A methane production rate of up to 2.5 microg CH4 h(-1) g(-1) dwt was recorded in these microcosms. In the aerobic as well as anaerobic microcosms, typically 90% of the mineral oil degraded belonged to the mineral oil fraction that eluted from the gas chromatograph after C10 and before C15, while 10% belonged to the fraction that eluted after C15 and before C40. Our results suggest that anaerobic petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, including n-alkane degradation, under methanogenic conditions plays a significant role in the natural attenuation in boreal conditions. 相似文献

The degradation pathway for dinoseb (2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol) under reducing conditions was investigated. Cultures were inoculated with a dinoseb-degrading anaerobic enrichment culture used in field studies. Biotransformation intermediates were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Dinoseb degradation involves reduction of the nitro groups to amino groups followed by replacement with hydroxyl groups. Depending on the pH and redox potential in the culture, these intermediates may exist as quinones or hydroquinones.Publication No. 94506 of the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station 相似文献

The effect of transformation of chlorinated ethenes on the cell viability of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was investigated. A comparison of the loss of viability with the decrease in transformation rates showed that for the monooxygenase-mediated transformation of all chlorinated ethenes except vinyl chloride the decrease in cell viability was the predominant toxic effect. 相似文献

Acclimated activated sludge was examined for its ability to degrade malathion with and without the presence of glucose as a potential cometabolite substrate. In this study, a packed-bed reactor (PBR) using three kinds of biofilm carriers was employed for efficient degradation of malathion. The results obtained indicate that microorganisms tested were able to degrade malathion. The observed degradation rate of the pesticide in the presence of glucose was the same as without glucose. The activated sludge was found to be able to use malathion as the sole phosphorus source. In contrast, the degradation ability of the activated sludge was lost when the pesticide was used as the sole source of sulfur. The degradation capacity of the PBR was higher than the performance obtained with the batch reactor. The reactor packed with crushed olive kernels exhibited the best performance, allowing a total removal of malathion (10 mg/dm3) within 12 h. 相似文献

在3L发酵罐中分别采用不同的碱性物质作为pH调节剂,考察其对产琥珀酸放线杆菌Actinobacillus succinogenes NJ113厌氧发酵制备丁二酸的影响。结果表明:Ca2+、NH4+调节剂对菌体生长代谢有较大阻碍作用,丁二酸产量较低;采用含Na+调节剂,在发酵中后期菌体出现絮凝现象严重,且产丁二酸能力骤降;采用含Mg2+调节剂,整个发酵过程菌体代谢旺盛,发酵效果较佳。根据各碱性物质的调节能力以及对菌体生长代谢的影响,选择NaOH、Mg(OH)2和Na2CO3、Mg(OH)2分别作为混合碱组分调节pH,并对两组混合碱中各物质的质量比例进行优化。结果表明,以NaOH、Mg(OH)2混合,两者质量比为1:1时,发酵效果最好,丁二酸质量浓度高达到69.8g/L,质量收率74.5%。该种混合碱配比可有效替代碱式MgCO3调节pH,既达到高产丁二酸的目的,又可降低生物制备丁二酸的成本。 相似文献

Despite recent progress made in describing microbial transformations that occur under anaerobic conditions, our understanding of the role sulfate‐reducing bacteria may play in the remediation of environmental contaminants is still very limited. The objective of this mini‐review is to summarize what is currently known of the metabolism of chlorinated aromatic compounds in the presence of sulfate. Sulfidogenic processes are discussed with respect to the thermodynamics of haloaromatic oxidation and to their potential use in the in situ bioremediation of hazardous organic wastes. A comprehensive listing is made of anaerobic transformations that involve both halogenated and nonhalogenated monoaromatic substrates by denitrifiers, dissimilatory iron‐reducing bacteria, and methanogenic consortia. In contrast to other anaerobic processes, studies involving sulfate‐mediated metabolism of hazardous organic compounds have been neglected; however, the recent success in defining methanogenic transformations, in particular, has enhanced expectations of defining an analogous role for sulfate‐reducing microbial communities in low redox environments that have become contaminated with hazardous substances. 相似文献

Biodegradation of lignin-carbohydrate complexes 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Covalent lignin-carbohydrate (LC) linkages exist in lignocellulose from wood and groups herbaceous plants. In wood, they consist of ester and ether linkages through sugar hydroxyl to the -carbanol of phenylpropane subunits in lignin. In grasses, ferulic and p-coumaric acids are esterified to hemicelluloses and lignin, respectively. Hemicelluloses also contain substitutents and side groups that restrict enzymatic attack. Watersoluble lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) often precipitate during digestion with polysaccharidases, and the residual sugars are more diverse than the bulk hemicellulose. A number of microbial esterases and hemicellulose polysaccharidases including acetyl xylan esterase, ferulic acid esterase, and p-coumaric esterase attack hemicellulose side chains. Accessory hemicellulases include -l-arabinofuranosidase and -methyl-glucuranosidase. Both of these side chains are involved in LC bonds. -Glucosidase will attach sugar residues to lignin degradation products and when carbohydrate is attached to lignin, lignin peroxidase will depolymerize the lignin more readily.Abbreviations APPL

Summary The IncP1 plasmid pULB113 (RP4::miniMu) not only mediates the transfer of chromosomal markers in the classical direction (i.e. from the donor to the recipient cell) but also in the opposite direction (i.e. from the recipient bacterium to the donor). This phenomenon of retrotransfer was observed in homologous matings with Pseudomonas fluorescens, Alcaligenes eutrophus and Salmonella typhimurium. Retrotransconjugants could be discriminated from direct transconjugants by appropriate chromosomal and plasmid markers used to distinguish the mating partners not bearing pULB113. Retrotransfer of chromosomal markers occurred at frequencies equal to, or sometimes greater than, those observed for the direct mobilization, thus allowing the recovery of recipient recessive markers in the donor with linkage values similar to those found in the normal direction. Retrotransfer was also observed in heterospecific matings involving A. eutrophus and pULB113 bearing P. fluorescens: R-primes carrying different selected and unselected markers were recovered in both bacteria. Retrotransfer of shuttle transfer seems to be a specific trait of IncP1 plasmids. 相似文献
