Influence of Surfactants on Biodegradation of Chlordane by Wood-Rotting Fungus

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wood-rotting fungus, Phlebia lindtneri GB 1027, was tested in toxicity assays with three surfactants in order to select surfactants for degradation assays of chlordane. Tween 80 and Triton X-100 appeared to have lower effect on the fungal growth on solid medium, while higher effect of fungal growth was observed in solid medium with SDS. Tween 80 had positive effects both on the chlordane degradation and the fungal growth. When fungus was incubated on PDB liquid medium with Tween 80 of 10 CMC after 20 d, 78.6% of chlordane was removed. In the treatments with Triton X-100, this strain showed comparatively greatest degradation rate (70.8%) of chlordane at a concentration of 2 CMC. However, when Triton X-100 concentration was higher than 2 CMC (5 and 10 CMC), the enhancement for the biodegradation of chlordane decreased.
