Abstract
Whole-cell kinetics of phenol- and trichloroethylene (TCE)-degrading activities expressed by 13 phenol-degrading bacteria were analyzed. The Ks (apparent affinity constant in Haldane's equation) values for TCE were unexpectedly diverse, ranging from 11 microM to over 800 microM. The Vmax/Ks values for phenol were three orders of magnitude higher than the values for TCE in all bacteria analyzed, suggesting that these bacteria preferentially degrade phenol rather than TCE. A positive correlation between Ks for phenol and Ks for TCE was found, i.e., bacteria exhibiting high Ks values for phenol showed high Ks values for TCE, and vice versa. A comparison of the Ks values allowed grouping of these bacteria into three types, i.e., low-, moderate- and high-Ks types. Pseudo-first-order degradation-rate constants for TCE at 3.8 microM were found to be adequate to rapidly discriminate among the three types of bacteria. When bacteria were grown on phenol at the initial concentration of 2 mM, Comamonas testosteroni strain R5, a representative of low-Ks bacteria, completely degraded TCE at 3.8 microM, while strain P-8, a representative of high-Ks bacteria, did not. A mixed culture of these two bacteria poorly degraded TCE under the same con...Continue Reading
