Biodegradation of Phenol in Sediment-Slurry under Aerobic Condition
Main Article Content
Abstract
Biodegradation of phenol in sediment-slurry sample from rice paddy was investigated under aerobic condition in this study. These slurry samples were contaminated with nitrate (0.031 mM), nitrite (0.028 mM) but not with phenol or p-hydroxybenzoate. In active experiment, 0.1 mM of phenol applied at the first time (day 0) and the second time (day 6) was completely biodegraded within 2 days. When 0.3 mM of phenol was reapplied in all treatments, the chemical was completely biodegraded within 5 days of the experiment. The gas production was monitored in the active experiment with 0.1 mM of phenol at the first day of the experiment and then it decreased all along the experiment. Bacillus sp. was isolated and identified from active treatments containing sediment-slurry from rice paddy under aerobic conditions.
