- Title
Trinitrophenol Transformation By Enterobacter taylorae.
- Authors
HE, LIN; COLLINS, ANTHONY G.
- Abstract
For the purpose of anaerobic-aerobic biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing trinitrophenol (TNP), a facultative bacterial strain, identified as Enterobacter taylorae, was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant. The strain could tolerate TNP up to a concentration of 1000 mg/L, and transform TNP under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It could use a variety of organic compounds as its carbon source, and use either ammonium or TNP as its nitrogen source. Discussion is given to the practical significance of this strain for the treatment of wastewater containing TNP. Key words: TNP; nitro-aromatic compounds; anaerobic; aerobic; transformation
