Enhancement of Co-Metabolism of Chlorobenzoates by the Co-Substrate Enrichment Technique

R. S. Horvath

Department of Biology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403

ABSTRACT

Chlorinated benzoates were degraded by bacteria contained in an activated sludge inoculum by a co-metabolic mechanism. This decomposition began after an initial lag period of 4 days and accounted for 63 to 69% degradation in 28 days. The co-substrate enrichment technique, using glucose as co-substrate, increased both the rate of microbial decomposition of the benzoates and the total amount of substituted aromatic compounds degraded.
