Analytical Study of Effective Biodegradation of -cresol Using ABHI001: Application in Bioremediation
Overview
Affiliations
This study evaluated the capability of ABHI001 to effectively degrade -cresol through different techniques. The molecular identity of the laboratory isolate ABHI001 was confirmed through the 16S ribosomal DNA gene pattern, and its morphological features were investigated through field-emission scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the degradation behavior of the isolate for cresol was verified using several techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The maximum degradation percentage of 85% for -cresol could be achieved after 18 h of incubation with . ABHI001. The formation of -hydroxybenzaldehyde, -hydroxybenzoate, and protocatechuate metabolites was confirmed through HPLC. The study results indicate that . ABHI001 may have applications in the bioremediation of organic pollutants, such as -cresol.
