Microbial degradation of xenobiotic, aromatic pollutants in humic water
Författare
Summary, in English
The microbial degradation of a number of "4C-labeled, recalcitrant, aromatic pollutants, including
trichloroguaiacol and di-, tri-, and pentachlorophenol, was investigated in aquatic model systems in the
laboratory. Natural, mixed cultures of microorganisms in the water from a brown-water lake with a high
content of humic compounds mineralized all of the tested substances to a higher degree than did microorganisms
in the water from a clear-water lake. Dichlorophenol was the most rapidly degraded pollutant.
