Rapid conversion of toluene by an acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 mutant showing monolayer adsorption to water-oil interface.

Journal of bioscience and bioengineering - 1 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

Two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) consist of an aqueous phase containing microorganism cells and a water-immiscible, non-bioavailable organic phase, and have been investigated for use in bioconversion of toxic, hydrophobic chemicals. We achieved a toluene conversion rate 10-fold faster than any experimental data previously demonstrated, using a novel bacterium in a TPPB employing silicone oil. The...
