휘발성유기화합물 제거를 위한 생물공정기에서 분리한 톨루엔 분해 세균 = Toluen Degrading Bacterium Isolated from a Bioreactor Remove Volatile Organic Compounds

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We isolated a toluene degrading bacterium from the bioactive foam reactor(BFR) which designed to remove volatile organic compounds(VOCs) from the contaminated air. In order tofind the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationship with known bacteria, the partial sequence of 16S ribosomal DNA gene was analyzed. The isolated bacterium was classified as Pseudomonas sp. based on the close relationship to bacteria belonging to this genus. From the sequence, we designed the appropriate DNA probe which will be useful to detect this bacterium with the molecular methods such as FISH. The isolated bacterium and designed probe will be helpful to optimize the operating conditions and to improve the efficiency of BFR in detoxification of VOCs.
