Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
other: precultured mixed cultures of soil bacteria
Details on inoculum:
Were used to benzene precultured mixed cultures of soil bacteria, preferably gram-negative polar flagellated rods, which still stood in the mineral salt solution (pH = 6.8) benzene as a carbon source.
Duration of test (contact time):
24 - 500 h
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
20 - 200 µg/L
Based on:
test mat.
Details on study design:
200 mg of benzene and 50 mg of 1,3-dichlorobenzne diffused layer of a hard paraffin (2 g) in 200 mL culture medium.
Here, a 0.000001 and 0.0000001 M solution of 1,3-dichlorbenzene (about 20 to 200 g / L) was established
After 24-, 100-, 240- and 500 hours incubation at 28 ° C were worked together on chlorophenols cells and nutrient medium.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The elimination of 1,3-dichlorobenzene through adsorption on activated carbon and biodegradation by film-bacteria resulted in an elimination rate of 95 ± 2 % in a column with continuous flow over two years.

In the control (only film-bacteria) was the reduction only 28 ± 32 % after adaptation.

A final statement on the biodegradation of 1,3-dichlorobenzene based on these results is not possible.

The biodegradation of chlorobenzene to chlorophenol by soil bacteria in aquatic solutions is due to the action of a monooxygenase.
