Goswami, Lalit published the artcileAnthracene Biodegradation by Oleaginous Rhodococcus opacus for Biodiesel Production and Its Characterization, Formula: C23H46O2, the main research area is anthracene biodegradation oleaginous Rhodococcus biodiesel production characterization.
This study examined biodegradation of anthracene, a model low mol. weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) by oleaginous Rhodococcus opacus for biodiesel production Specific biomass growth rate (μ) in the range of 0.0075-0.0185/h could be attained over the initial anthracene concentration (50-500 mg/L), along with 68-70.6% (weight/weight) lipid accumulation. 10% (volume/volume) inoculum size showed more pos. effect than 5% (volume/volume) inoculum size on both anthracene biodegradation efficiency and lipid accumulation by R. opacus. 1H and 13C NMR (NMR) spectroscopy of the bacterial lipids revealed 82.25% saturated fatty acids content. The transesterified bacterial lipids predominantly consisted of Me palmitate (32.4%) and Me stearate (25.9%) as the major fatty acid Me esters (FAMEs). Overall, this study revealed a very good potential of the bacterium for the production of biodiesel from PAH-containing wastewater.
