Pathways in the degradation of hydrolyzed alcohols of butyl benzyl phthalate in metabolically diverse Gordonia sp. strain MTCC 4818
(KARGER,, 2005)In the present study, the metabolic pathways involved in the degradation of benzyl alcohol and 1-butanol, the hydrolyzed products of butyl benzyl phthalate, were investigated by the Gordonia sp. strain MTCC 4818. The strain ... -
Origin, occurrence, and biodegradation of long-side-chain alkyl compounds in the environment: A review
(SPRINGER,, 2005-09)Long-side-chain alkyl compounds, such as those present in oil and oil products, either of natural or of anthropogenic origin or released by industrial activities, are a ubiquitous group of chemicals in the environment. ... -
Isolation of a Pseudomonas sp capable of utilizing 4-nonylphenol in the presence of phenol
(KOREAN SOC MICROBIOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2006-11)Enrichment techniques led to the isolation of a Pseudomonas sp. strain P2 from municipal waste-contaminated soil sample, which could utilize different isomers of a commercial mixture of 4-nonylphenol when grown in the ... -
A novel degradation pathway in the assimilation of phenanthrene by Staphylococcus sp strain PN/Y via meta-cleavage of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid: formation of trans-2,3-dioxo-5-(2 '-hydroxyphenyl)pent-4-enoic acid
(SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2007-07)Staphylococcus sp. strain PN/Y, capable of utilizing phenanthrene as a sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil. In the degradation of phenanthrene by strain PN/Y, various metabolites, ... -
Complete degradation of butyl benzyl phthalate by a defined bacterial consortium: Role of individual isolates in the assimilation pathway
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2008-01)Two bacterial strains, in consortium, were isolated by enrichment techniques from municipal waste-contaminated soil, which utilized butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) as the sole carbon source. One of the isolates was identified ... -
Kinetics of phenanthrene degradation by Staphylococcus sp strain PN/Y involving 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid in a novel metabolic pathway
(ELSEVIER SCI, 2008-09)Staphylococcus sp. strain PN/Y isolated from creosote-contaminated soil, was previously reported to degrade phenanthrene as sole source of carbon and energy. Unlike other phenanthrene degraders, Staphylococcus sp. PN/Y ... -
Metabolic cooperation of Gordonia sp strain MTCC 4818 and Arthrobacter sp strain WY in the utilization of butyl benzyl phthalate: effect of a novel co-culture in the degradation of a mixture of phthalates
(SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2008-11)Degradation of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) by a co-culture of Gordonia sp. strain MTCC 4818 and Arthrobacter sp. strain WY was investigated. In the degradation of BBP by the co-culture, the limitations of the individual ... -
Degradation of phenanthrene via meta-cleavage of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid by Ochrobactrum sp strain PWTJD
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010-12-01)The present study describes the assimilation of phenanthrene by an aerobic bacterium, Ochrobactrum sp. strain PWTJD, isolated from municipal waste-contaminated soil sample utilizing phenanthrene as a sole source of carbon ... -
Cloning and characterization of a p-cymene monooxygenase from Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp aureofaciens
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010-12-01)p-Cymene monooxygenase is the enzyme system that catalyzes the hydroxylation of p-cymene to 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol (p-cumic alcohol), the initial step in the assimilation of p-cymene by Pseudomonas chlororaphis subsp. ... -
Role of oxygenases in guiding diverse metabolic pathways in the bacterial degradation of low-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: A review
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2011-02-01)Widespread environmental pollution by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) poses an immense risk to the environment. Bacteria-mediated attenuation has a great potential for the restoration of PAH-contaminated environment ...
