Abstract:Three sets of batch experiments with different concentration of feed were conducted to observe the biodegradability of benzene gas by yeast strain Candida tropicalis. During the first phase of this study, C. tropicalis was grown in a nutrient solution containing only toluene and benzene as its sole carbon source in an acclimation experiment. There was a delay in the rate of the microbial growth following the nutrient changes, however, the optical density of C. tropicalis reached over 1.200 OD600nm within 9 day… Show more
