Isolation and characteristics of a novel biphenyl-degrading bacterial strain, Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4

A novel biphenyl-degrading bacterial strain LA-4 was isolated from activated sludge. It was identified as Dyella ginsengisoli according to phylogenetic similarity of 16S rRNA gene sequence. This isolate could utilize biphenyl as sole source of carbon and energy, which degraded over 95 mg/L biphenyl within 36 h. The major metabolites formed from biphenyl, such as 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPDA) and benzoic acid, were identified by LC-MS. The crude cell extract of strain LA-4 exhibited the activity of 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (2,3-DHBD) and the kinetic parameters were Km= 26.48 μmol/L and Vmax= 8.12 μmol/mg protein. A conserved region of the biphenyl dioxygenase gene bphA1 of strain LA-4 was amplified by PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing.     

菌株Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4吸附Ni~(2+)的条件优化及特性研究

主要考察了菌株Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4对重金属Ni2+的吸附性能,同时,利用表面响应法对菌株Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4吸附Ni2+的条件(接种量、pH、Ni2+浓度等)进行了优化,并考察了其动力学及吸附等温曲线特性.实验结果表明,菌株Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4吸附Ni2+的最优条件为:接种量10.64 g.L-1,pH为6.50,Ni2+浓度为19.20 mg.L-1,此时的Ni2+最大去除率为99%.动力学分析表明,吸附平衡时间约为30 min,吸附可分为表面快速吸附和缓慢重金属积累两个阶段.利用Langmuir吸附模型能较好地描述菌株Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4对Ni2+的等温吸附行为,最大吸附量为25.81 mg.g-1.
