Adaptive laboratory evolution of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM6263 for chlorophenol degradation under hypersaline condition.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Normally, a salt amount greater than 3.5% (w/v) is defined as hypersaline. Large amounts of hypersaline wastewater containing organic pollutants need to be treated before it can be discharged into the environment. The most critical aspect of the biological treatment of saline wastewater is the inhibitory/toxic effect exerted on bacterial metabolism by high salt concentrations. Although efforts have been dedicated to improving the performance through the use of salt-tolerant or halophilic bacteria, the diversities of the strains and the range of substrate spectrum remain limited, especially in chlorophenol wastewater treatment.

Results

In this study, a salt-tolerant chlorophenol-degrading strain was generated from Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM6263, an original anilin
