2,4-Dichlorophenol biotransformation using immobilized marine halophilic Bacillus subtilis culture and laccase enzyme: application in wastewater treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a very toxic aromatic compound for humans and the environment and is highly resistant to degradation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient remediation and cost-effective approaches to this pollutant. Microbial enzymes such as laccases can degrade phenols, but limited information is known about immobilized bacterial laccase and their reuse.

Methods

Immobilization of marine halophilic Bacillus subtilis AAK cultures via entrapment and adsorption techniques and degradation of different phenolic compounds by immobilized cells were estimated. Partial purification and immobilization of laccase enzymes were carried out. In addition, the biodegradation of 2,4-DCP and others contaminated by wastewater was investigated.
