Characteristic and comparison of phenol degradation for two strains
Shucui Zhang · Journal of Shanghai Normal University · 2011
Two phenol-degrading bacterial strains named XTT-1,XTT-3 were isolated from active sludge using the way of acclimatization and could grow on a medium with phenol as the sole carbon and energy sources,the two strains were identified preliminarily as Pseudomonas sp.The optimum degradation condition of the two strains was explored.Strain XTT-3 could degrade phenol completely at a concentration as high as 500 mg·L-1 in 48 h,while strain XTT-1 did it in 64h..The two strains could resist to phenol up to 1000 mg·L-1.Salt content higher than 2.0% had different degrees of inhibition on phenol degradation.
