Biodegradation potential of two Rhodococcus strains capable of utilizing aniline as carbon source in tropical ecosystem
Two closely related strains of Rhodococcus species isolated from aniline polluted tropical ecosystem were able to utilize aniline as carbon source at 3.0 and 4.0 mM concentrations at 30oC and pH of about 6.4. Rapid increase in the turbidity and sharp decline in pH were observed in the cultures of both organisms within 24 h of incubation. Shortly after the period, growth became slower. Turbidity...
