Impact of inoculation protocols, salinity, and pH on the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and survival of PAH-degrading bacteria introduced into soil
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the influence of inoculation protocols, salinity, and acidity on the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). To analyze the survival of bacteria in soil injected with Sphingomonas paucimobilis BA 2 and strain BP 9 was another objective. Results revealed zero inhibition of the autochtonous microflora and the existence of PAH degradation. The acidity of the soil also plays a major function in the degradation activity.

5-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid, a dead-end metabolite from the bacterial oxidation of 5-aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid
Article Abstract:
Strain BN6 converts 5-aminonapthalene-2-sulfonate (5A2NS) into 5-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylate (5H2QC). Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance confirms the authenticity of this new compound. There is a spontaneous cyclization of the hypothetical metabolites 6-amino-2-hydroxybenzalpyruvate that explains the formation of the new compound. 5A2NS oxidation is limited by the interval NADH pool since NADH regeneration is prevented.

Natural Mediators in the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by laccase mediator systems
Article Abstract:
Results show that a number of laccase substrates are involved in the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by the fungal laccase. Data reveal that compounds generated by phenols and aromatic amines or fungi oxidize the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
