BIOREMEDIATION OF WATER CONTAMINATED WITH BTEX, TPH AND TCE UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Many studies have been done about the biodegradation for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (collectively known as BTEX), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), as they are among the most commonly found environmental contaminants. Since many sites are contaminated with mixtures of these compounds, this research was performed to find out more about their interactions during the bioremoval process, using water artificially contaminated with the mixtures of BTEX, TPH, and trichloroethylene (TCE) as a representative CAH under different environmental (temperature and pH) conditions. One microbial isolate obtained from the potentially contaminated site was grown aerobically for the bioremoval of these mixtures, with BTEX and TPH provided as substrates for the co-metabolic removal of TCE.
