The biodegradation of naphthalene in sea water by freely suspended and alginate-entrapped cells of Pseudomonas stutzeri 19SMN4 has been investigated in batch cultures. The results showed that immobilized cells can be stored at 4°C for 1 month without loss of viability. The biodegradation was highly affected by the availability of nitrogen and phosphorous, so at 30°C a naphthalene concentration of 25 mM was almost completely degraded (93%) by free cells in 6 days in samples supplemented with these nutrients, whereas only 42% naphthalene was consumed in the nonsupplemented samples. Biodegradation was much slower at 16°C than at 30°C; after 6 days of culture at 30°C, almost all naphthalene was degradated by free and immobilized cells, whereas only 22% and 34% at 16°C, respectively. The degradation rate remained unaffected when the naphthalene concentration was reduced from 25 to 10 mM. Alginate of three different viscosities was used for immobilization of cells. After 7 days of culture, beads formed with 31.4 cP alginate were fragmented, whereas beads formed with 240 and 3600 cP did not display structural changes and afforded the same degradation rate. Beads formed with high-viscosity alginate retained cells more efficiently. |
