Microbial isolation and degradation of selected haloalkanoic aliphatic acids by locally isolated bacteria: A review
The liberation of halogenated compounds by both natural processes and man-made activities has led to extensive contamination of the biosphere. Bioremediation via the dehalogenation process offers a sustainable way to eliminate such hazardous contaminants. Whereas, a large number of natural soil micr...

| description | The liberation of halogenated compounds by both natural processes and man-made activities has led to extensive contamination of the biosphere. Bioremediation via the dehalogenation process offers a sustainable way to eliminate such hazardous contaminants. Whereas, a large number of natural soil microorganisms (i.e., bacteria and fungi) that have been isolated are capable of degrading and detoxifying such contaminants, information on the preferred types of halogenated compounds that they catalyze is lacking. In this review, we discuss those microorganisms that have the potential to perform bioremediation of such environmental contaminants. We also present a method for isolating novel dehalogenase-producing microorganisms from cow dung. |
