Growth kinetics of psychrotrophic Pseudomonas putida on phenol biodegradation
1. Introduction Phenol is one of the critical environmental pollutants, which arises from a number of industrial processes. It is also a common contaminant observed in soil and groundwater (Wang and Li, 2008). Its discharge into the environment is of great concern because of its toxicity (reduces enzyme activity) or being lethal to fish even at relatively low levels, e.g. 5-25 mg/L. United State Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has thus set a water purification standard of phenol less than 1.0 μg/L in surface waters. Biological treatment of phenol has been an increasingly important precess in pollution prevention. Different micro-organisms were used by the different researchers for the degradation of phenol (Bajaj et al., 2009). The focus of this work is to investigate the biodegradation kinetics with respect to the phenol concentration and the environmental conditions like pH and temperature.
