Comparison of Benzo[<i>a</i>]pyrene-Degrading Activities between <i>Olleya</i> sp. ITB9 Isolated from Tokyo Bay and Other Type Strains of the Genus <i>Olleya</i>
Abstract:Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP) is one of the strongest carcinogenic compounds among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) . We previously identified the ITB9 strain of Olleya species, which shows BaP-degrading activity; our report was the first about BaP degradation by the genus Olleya. In this study, BaP-degradation efficiency by ITB9 was about 50% when the strain was suspended in 20 ml of L9 liquid medium with 100 µg/ml BaP and 0.2 M NaCl, with pH 8.0, and incubated at 25℃ for 5 days. Under the same conditions, al… Show more
