Transformation ofiso-pentylbenzene by a biofilm-forming strain ofCandida viswanathiiTH1 isolated from oil-polluted sediments collected in coastal zones in Vietnam

Abstract: This work is aimed to assess the aerobic biotransformation of a branched side chain alkylbenzene, iso-pentylbenzene, by Candida viswanathii TH1. The yeast Candida viswanathii TH1 isolated from oil-polluted sediments collected in coastal zones in Vietnam exhibited as a strain that could better transform branched aromatic hydrocarbons in biofilm (pellicle) than in planktonic form. During incubation of TH1 as biofilm with iso-pentylbenzene, the seven intermediates produced were benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, 2-… Show more

“…On the other hand, there are several Candida species with non-pathogenic features and their ability to form biofilm are studied in bioremediation processes [15]. For instance, Candida viswanathii TH1 isolated from oil-polluted sediments collected in coastal zones in Vietnam can transform branched aromatic hydrocarbons in biofilm than in planktonic form [16]. In addition, Candida maltosa biofilm was used to degrade and remove phenol with efficiency 7 times more efficiently than without biofilm [17].…”
