A variety of environmental inocula were tested for the development of 2-aminobenzenesulfonate (2-ABS) degradingbacterial enrichment. A bacterial consortium (BC) consisting of two strains, which could utilize 2-ABS as the solecarbon and energy sources under aerobic conditions, could only be developed from the sludge derived fromwastewater treatment facility of a large organic chemical industry manufacturing nitro and amino aromatics. Thesestrains have been identified, to be belonging to the genus, Acinetobacter and Flavobacterium, by 16S rDNA genesequence analysis. 2-ABS removal pattern in the presence of glucose was significantly influenced by acclimationcharacteristics of the culture. Consortium adapted to 2-ABS/glucose demonstrated the concomitant removal of bothsubstrates, whereas initial glucose utilization and diauxic growth pattern were observed with glucose adapted culture.These results along with the effect of chloramphenicol showed that the 2-ABS degrading enzymes are inducible innature. |
