| Abstract | A two-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB) utilizing the bacterium Sphingomonas aromaticivorans B0695 was used to degrade four low molecular weight (LMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The TPPB concept is based on the use of a biocompatible, immiscible organic solvent in which high concentrations of recalcitrant substrates are dissolved. These substances partition into the cell-containing aqueous phase at rates determined by the metabolic activity of the cells. Experiments showed that the selected solvent, dodecane, could be successfully used in both solvent extraction experiments (to remove PAHs from soil) and in a TPPB application. Further testing demonstrated that solvent extraction from spiked soil was enhanced when a solvent combination (dodecane and ethanol) was used, and it was shown that the co-solvent did not significantly affect TPPB performance. The TPPB achieved complete biodegradation of naphthalene, phenanthrene, acenaphthene and anthracene at a volumetric consumption rate of 90 mg l–1 h–1 in approximately 30 h. Additionally, a total of 20.0 g of LMW PAHs (naphthalene and phenanthrene) were biodegraded at an overall volumetric rate of 98 mg l–1 h–1 in less than 75 h. Degradation rates achieved using the TPPB and S. aromaticivorans B0695 are much greater than any others previously reported for an ex situ PAH biodegradation system operating with a single species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
