Factors controlling halogenated and nonhalogenated alkene growth substrate range of vinyl chloride-utilizing bacteria

Creator:: Taylor, Anne Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis explores the factors limiting the alkene substrate range of the vinyl chloride (VC)-utilizing bacteria, and describes a method for measuring VC transformation in situ. Vinyl fluoride (VF) was evaluated as a surrogate for monitoring aerobic VC-transformation utilizing three isolates, Mycobacterium EE13a, Mycobacterium JS60 and Nocardioides JS614. JS614 grew...
