Selection of xenobiotic-degrading microorganisms in a biphasic aqueous-organicsystem

Article Abstract:

The adaptation of xenobiotic compound-degrading microorganisms can be accelerated and there can be an increase in the xenobiotic compound degradation when hydrophobic organic solvents having inert physical and chemical characteristics are present in a culture system. In biphasic aqueous-organic and monophasic aqueous systems, microbial selection of mixtures of chlorinated and non-chlorinated compounds that are poorly soluble in water or toxic to growing microbial cells is examined. The biphasic water-silicone oil system can be used for microbial selection in the presence of xenobiotic compounds that are toxic and have low water solubility.
