Biodegradation of e.g. methyl-tertiary-butylether and tertiary butyl alcohol in water, comprises fixing bacterial strain L108 on moderate hydrophobic carrier material and carrying out degradation process under aerobic condition

摘要

Method for the biodegradation of methyl-tertiary-butylether, tertiary butyl alcohol, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) compounds and/or mineral oil hydrocarbons in water, comprises fixing the bacterial strains L108 (DSM) on a moderate hydrophobic carrier material and carrying out the degradation process in the presence of usual growth components of the strains, at a pH of 5-9 under aerobic condition. Independent claims are included for: (1) a bacterial strain L108-DSM (deposited on 28.04.2006); and (2) a bacterial strain L108 fixed on a clay granulate, lava-tuff or polystyrene.
