Random mutagenesis of a Pseudomonas putida strain capable of acclimating to high-concentration formaldehyde via atmospheric and room temperature plasma(ARTP)
Abstract:Formaldehyde has strong cytotoxicity to organisms and may cause nasopharyngeal cancer and probably leukemia. This study is intended to investigate a highly formaldehyde-resistant utilizer, the Pseudomonas putida W1 strain. Bacterial strain W1 isolated from untreated activated sludge samples collected from heavily formaldehyde- and aniline-contaminated areas was identified using morphological characteristics and molecular techniques. The formaldehyde concentration in the medium decreased with the growth of stra… Show more
