| heterotrophic nitrification by achromobacter xylosoxidans s18 isolated from a small-scale slaughterhouse wastewater. | heterotrophic carbon utilizing microbes were acclimatized in the laboratory by inoculating sludge collected from the waste discharge pond of a small-scale rural abattoir in india in a nutrient solution intermittently fed with glucose and ammonium chloride. cultures of 10 well-developed isolates were selected and grown in a basal medium containing glucose and ammonium chloride. culture supernatants were periodically analyzed for ammonium nitrogen (nh(4) (+)-n) and c ... | 2011 | 22130566 |
| naphthalene degradation by bacterial consortium (dv-al) developed from alang-sosiya ship breaking yard, gujarat, india. | naphthalene degrading bacterial consortium (dv-al) was developed by enrichment culture technique from sediment collected from the alang-sosiya ship breaking yard, gujarat, india. the 16s rrna gene based molecular analyzes revealed that the bacterial consortium (dv-al) consisted of four strains namely, achromobacter sp. bab239, pseudomonas sp. dv-al2, enterobacter sp. bab240 and pseudomonas sp. bab241. consortium dv-al was able to degrade 1000ppm of naphthalene in bushnell haas medium (bhm) conta ... | 2011 | 22217733 |
| the role of nutrients in the biodegradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in liquid and soil. | the widely used explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (tnt) has residues that are potentially explosive, toxic, and mutagenic. tnt and other explosives can be degraded by microorganisms; however, biostimulation is needed for process efficiency. to investigate the effectiveness of using biostimulation to degrade tnt, we added varying concentrations of a nutrient amendment consisting of inorganic salts, plant extracts, and molasses to soil and liquid media. for the inoculum we used a consortium of bacte ... | 2012 | 22245864 |
