By a method of reversed-phase high-efficient liquid chromatography (HELC) the dynamics of the process of biodegradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene) and phenols (phenol, pyrocathechin, hydroquinone, tetrachlorpyrocatechin) by bacteria isolated from coastal waters and soils of Absheron peninsula of the Caspian Sea has been investigated. It has been shown that in the selected conditions, in particular, by bacteria Pseudomonas sp. the symptoms of the products of biotransformation are appeared approximately on sixth day of the exposition. In this case a full formation of the obtained products takes place in 3-4 days and the individual compounds a composition of which remains stable during 25 days are appeared. The used method allowed to detect and to identify in composition of the products of biodegradation more than 15 individual compounds being the products of direct oxidation of aromatic ring and side chain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
