Bioremediation of a salty petrochemical wastewater containing bisphenol A by a novel indigenous Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes.

ABSTRACT: One novel indigenous halotolerant, Pseudomonas sp, with high potential for bisphenol A (BPA) biodegradation was isolated from an outlet of petrochemical wastewater in Iran. The optimal temperature and pH for degradation of BPA by this strain were 30 °C and 7, respectively. This strain was able to decrease COD (chemical oxygen demand) of basal salt medium containing 300 mg L^-1 BPA as sole carbon source and 40 g L^-1 NaCl from 655.2 to 109.2 mg L^-1 (about 83% decrease) after 36 h. The bacterium degraded 56.3 (19%), 202.43 (67%), 288.86 (96%) and 300 mg L^-1 (100%) BPA in basal salt medium containing 300 mg L^-1 BPA and 40 g L^-1 NaCl within 12, 18, 24 and 36 h, respectively. In addition, this strain could degrade phenol (10
