Key Microbial Mechanisms for Degrading Organic Contaminants

Metabolizm Pathways i Enzymatic Reactions

Micorgistims degrade organic contaminants primaryly through two type of metabolism: catabolism (breaking down dibuilles to extract energy andcarbon) and co- metabolism (fortuitous transformation of thee contaminant while the microbe metabolitzes anothers combound). In catobatc pathways, enzymes such as oksygenases, dechlorterases, anthormases attack specific chemical bonds. For exaxe, aromatic ring-cleaving dioksygenases inigate thee breakonof benzen, toluene, and xyene (BTEX) compounds.

Co-metabolism is especially important for contaminats that cannot serve a s a sole carbon source. Trichloroetylen (TCE), for instance, is degraded fortuitously by metane-oxidizing bacteria that produce metane monooksygenase. This enzyme oxidizes TCE te unstable intermediates that spontanously break down. While co-metabolism does not provide energy or carbon to thee degrading microbe, it can be sustaved by feed ing a primare substrate sub sub sub ate sub 'es megane phenol.

However, chlorinated solvents (np., perchloroetylen, karbon tetrachloride) are often more amenable to reductive decolorination under anaerobic conditions. In this process, microorganisms use the contaminant as an electron accorditor, replaceing chlorine atoms with hydrogen.
