Degradation of h-acid by free and immobilized cells of Alcaligenes latus

Abstract: Alcaligenes latus, isolated from industrial effluent, was able to grow in mineral salts medium with 50 ppm (0.15 mM) of H-acid as a sole source of carbon. Immobilization of Alcaligenes latus in Ca-alginate and polyurethane foam resulted in cells embedded in the matrices. When free cells and immobilized cells were used for biodegradation studies at concentration ranging from 100 ppm (0.3 mM) to 500 ppm (1.15 mM) degradation rate was enhanced with immobilized cells. Cells immobilized in polyurethane foam showed … Show more

“…Loss of activity attributed to cell leakage can be as a result of gradual shrinkage of matrix size after batch cycle (data not provided). Immobilization matrix did not disintegrate after loss of activity and therefore disagrees with reports of activity loss linked to matrix disintegration reported elsewhere (Trevors et al, 1998;Sharanagouda and Karegoudar, 2002;Usha et al, 2010). Re-usability and stability exhibited by I. gabonensis matrix presents it as a favourable matrix for immobilization of fungal cells and subsequent use in biosorption of metals.…”

“…Higher number of cycles achieved for Mn 2+ sorption can be attributed to the reduced equilibrium time compared to Al 3+ sorption. Subsequent loss of activity which has also been reported can be attributed to cell leakage (Sharanagouda and Karegoudar, 2002;Usha et al, 2010). Loss of activity attributed to cell leakage can be as a result of gradual shrinkage of matrix size after batch cycle (data not provided).…”

“…Los microorganismos pueden ser inmovilizados de forma reversible o irreversible. La inmovilización reversible se lleva a cabo induciendo la adhesión de las células a superficies de matrices naturales o sintéticas como la zeolita, el poliuretano (PU), el alcohol de polivinilo (PVA), la poliacrilamida y el polietilenglicol, entre otros (Quek et al 2006, Monge et al 2008, Usha et al 2010, Silveira et al 2013, Wang et al 2015.…”
