Popis | Rhodococcus opacus J3 is capable to degrade nitroaromatic compounds.This strain was isolated from soil by selectively enrichment with 4-nitrocatechol in SBM medium. Rhodococcus opacus J3 is gram-positive, strict aerobic bacterium who is typical by growth rod-coccus cycle.Degradation of 9 nitroaromatics were tested.We confirmed degradation of 5 substrates:4-nitrocatechol, 4-nitroguaiacol, 5-nitroguaiacol, 3-nitrophenol and 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid. Concentration of nitroaromatics and nitrites released were measured spectrophotometricaly. The process of degradation was monitored on automatic microbiological system Bioscreen. |
