Abstract

The microbiological degradation of 2-(2-methyl-4-chloro-phenoxy) propionic acid (MCPP) was evaluated using mixed cultures of soil bacteria. The mixed cultures comprised Pseudomonas species, Flavobacterium species, and Achromobacter species. The bacteria used MCPP as the sole source of carbon and energy but only a partial degradation of the parent compound occurred MCPP degradation proceeded via the formation of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenol (2, 4-MCP) which was detected by high pressure liquid chromatography (PHLC) and confirmed by gas chromatography-mass sepctrometry. This intermediate occurred only transiently and no evidence was seen for the presence of other intermediates detectable by the reverse-phase HPLC or UV absorbance.

토양세균의 혼합배양에 의한 MCPP [2-(2-Methyl-4-Chlorophenoxy) Propionic Acid]의 미생물학적 분해를 조사하였다. 혼합배양은 Pseudomonas 종, Flavobacterium 종, 그리고 Achromobacter종을 포함하였다. 세균들은 유일한 탄소 및 에너지원으로서 MCPP를 이용하였으나, 부분적인 분해만을 부여주었다. MCPP의 분해는 2-methyl-4-chlorophenol의 형성에 의하여 진행되었으며, 이는 HPLC 에 의하여 발견되었고, GC-MS에 의하여 확인되었다. 이 중간대사물질은 일시적으로 생성되었으며, reverse phase HPLC와 Uv absorbance에 의하여 다른 대사산물의 존재는 관찰되지 않았다.
