| Bacteria Reduces Odors in Waste Lagoons |
| Reference: |
2453 |
| Description: |
Researchers at ISU have isolated and identified a new species of bacteria, Rhodobacter PS9, which propagates easily and can be readily stored, transported and used, making it an excellent candidate for bioremediation. The bacteria utilitzes odor and odor forming toxic compounds, such as volatile fatty acids and phenolic compounds, as substrates. As a result of this metabolic activity, odors are reduced and toxic compounds are broken down into harmless by-products. |
| Application: |
The bacteria also has potential for treatment of industrial wastes containing volatile fatty acids and phenolic compounds. |
