The ability of pentane, benzene, and toluene to support aerobic cometabolism of ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane, EDB) was evaluated. A pentane enrichment culture cometabolized EDB, with a transformation capacity of 0.35 μmol EDB/mg biomass (66.2 μg EDB/mg biomass) in the absence of growth substrate. It also cometabolized EDB while actively growing on pentane. However, enrichment cultures grown on benzene or toluene could not cometabolize EDB, with or without their respective growth substrates.
本文评价了戊烷、苯和甲苯支持乙二溴(1,2-二溴乙烷,EDB)好氧共代谢的能力。在没有生长基质的情况下,戊烷富集培养物可共代谢乙二溴,转化能力为 0.35 μmol EDB/mg 生物质(66.2 μg EDB/mg 生物质)。它还可以在戊烷上积极生长的同时共代谢 EDB。然而,在苯或甲苯上生长的富集培养物不能共代谢 EDB,无论是否有其各自的生长基质。
