Engineering bacteria for bioremediation

Advanced nutrient removal from surface water by a consortium of attached microalgae and bacteria: A review

“…Examples are the ecological floating beds (EFB), constructed wetlands (CW), macro hydrophyte ponds and addition of functional microbes (Pieper and Reineke, 2000;Li et al, 2008;Cao and Zhang, 2014). The nutrient-removal performance of EFB and CW fluctuates widely over the seasons and need a long retention time (Table 1) (Dunne et al, 2013;Cao and Zhang, 2014), while functional microbe bioaugmentation has requirements that typically cannot be met (Table 1) (Michaud et al, 2014;Chen et al, 2015).…”

Comparative analysis of microbial communities during enrichment and isolation of DDT-degrading bacteria by culture-dependent and -independent methods

“…High efficiency degradation strains are a key factor for bioremediation of organic pollutants. Various genetic engineering approaches have developed and constructed bacteria relevant for biodegradation (Pieper and Reineke, 2000). Molecular engineering has been utilized to enhance the level of a specific protein, enzyme or metabolic pathways in the target bacteria with the goal of increasing degradation rates (Åhman et al, 2002).…”

Overexpression and Purification of Monooxygenases Cloned from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 for Enzymatic Decomposition of 4-Chlorophenol

“…물질을 기질로 하는 분해효소를 사용하여 오염물질을 선 택적으로 분해시키는 생화학적 처리기술이 연구되고 있다 (Chen et al, 1999;Pieper and Reineke, 2000). 효소는 특정 기질에 대하여 빠른 분해속도를 나타내며 식물 또는 미생물 등으로부터 생산되는 친환경적인 재료로써 기존의 처리기술에 비해 안전성, 신속성, 친환경성 측면에서 유리 한 장점을 가지고 있다 (Chen et al, 1999).…”
