Transformation of Phenanthrene by Mycobacterium sp. ELW1 and the Formation of Toxic Metabolites

Creator:

Schrlau, Jill E.

Abstract:

The ability of Mycobacterium sp. ELW1, a novel microbe capable of alkene oxidation, to co-metabolize phenanthrene (PHE) was studied. ELW1 was able to completely co-metabolize PHE, at different concentrations below its water solubility limit, in an aqueous environment. The alkene monooxygenases in ELW1, used to initiate oxidation of PHE, were...
