Abstract: Major methods of 1,4-dioxane degradation were described and different bacterial strains using that xenobiotic as a source of carbon and energy were presented. Microbial growth tests during 1,4-dioxane degradation in metabolic and cometabolic...

Abstract: The influence of nickel on the growth of KB2 strain was tested for different concentrations of metal in the presence of phenol as the sole carbon and energy source. The inhibition effect of nickel on bacterial growth was confirmed even for...

Abstract: The introduction of nickel oxide nanoparticles into the St. maltophilia KB2 cultures did not inhibit the phenol biodegradation process, and the reactions of the bacterial population were depended on the nanoparticles concentrations and the...

Abstract: The review of the latest literature data related to the biodegradation of volatile organic compounds and the removal of odors in trickle-bed bioreactors were performed. The basic parameters that affect the course of the process and determine...

Abstract: The cometabolic biodegradation of 4-chlorophenol by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KB2 strain in the presence of phenol as the sole carbon and energy source was studied. The experiments were carried out in a batch bioreactor. The tests were conducted...

Abstract: Basic types of airlift reactors are presented and hydrodynamic regimes of their operation are described. Influence of some parameters (gas and liquid velocity, reactor geometry and liquid properties) on gas holdup in airlift reactor is discussed....
