A novel selective enrichment technique for use in biodegradation studies / by D. Liu.: En36-522/82-1978E-PDF
"A selective enrichment technique has been developed for the rapid isolation of the lipophilic compound degrading microorganisms. This method is based on the fact that biodegradation of the lipophilic substance takes place mainly at the interface of the substance-water and the areal extent of this interface will determine the availability of substrate to the degrading microorganisms and thus control the primary biodegradation rate as well as the biomass of the microorganisms. The isolation procedure involves finely emulsifying the test substance and stabilizing the emulsion with sodium lignin sulfonate. Microorganisms capable of degrading n-alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and polychlorinated biphenyls have been isolated by using this technique"--Abstract.
