Hydroxylation and biodegration of 6-methylquinoline by pseudomonads in aqueous and nonaqueous immobilized-cell bioreactors
- Univ. of Louisville, KY (United States)
Heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, including quinoline, methylquinolines, and isoquinoline, occur in creosote and various fossil fuels and are significant pollutants in soils and water. The removal of quinolines and other nitrogen and sulfur heterocyclic compounds from fuels could prevent the formation of air pollutants when fuels are burned. Although biodegradation of several quinolines has been reported, methylquinolines are particularly resistant to biodegradation. This paper describes the biotransformation and biodegradation of 6-methylquinoline by Pseudomona putida. The biotransformation of quinolines by immobilized cells in aqueous and nonaqueous systems, relevant for bioremediation systems, is also reported. 23 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
