Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
- Direct addition of test substance: None of the 28 strains (i.e. excluding those identified in the present study) utilized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene.
- Addition of test substance via gas phase and via hydrophobic solvent:
Arthrobacter A177 positive with both
Corynebacterium C125 positive with both
Nocardia S3 positive with both
Pseudomonas A2 positive with gas phase addition
other strains negative.
- Isolation of additional strains
Acinetobacter T5 (gas phase method);
Arthrobacter T2 (gas phase method);
Arthrobacter T6 (solvent phase method);
Moraxella T7 (solvent phase method);
Thus eight strains of bacteria utilizing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene as sole source of carbon and energy have been obtained.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Eight strains of bacteria were able to growth in tetrahydronaphthalene as sole source of carbon and energy.
These bacteria belong to the genera Acinetobacter, Arthrobacter, Moraxella - Executive summary:
Eight strains of bacteria were able to growth in tetrahydronaphthalene as sole source of carbon and energy. These bacteria belong to the genera Acinetobacter, Arthrobacter, Moraxella
