Abstract
Cometabolic degradation is currently an effective and extensively way to remove high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW-PAHs). Unfortunately, due to low bio-accessibility and high biotoxicity, the cometabolic degradation rate of HMW-PAHs is limited. Glycine-β-cyclodextrin (GCD) was obtained through amino modification of β-cyclodextrin (BCD) and added to cometabolic system of phenanthrene (PHE) and pyrene (PYR) to assist PYR biodegradation. Results show that the addition of GCD (100 mg/L) effectively improved the removal rate of PYR (20 mg/L) by 42.3%. GCD appeared to increase the bio-accessibility and reduce the biotoxicity of PHE and PYR, and then promoted the growth of Pseudomonas stutzeri DJP1 and stimulated the elevation of dehydrogenase (DHA) and catechol 12 dioxygenase (C12O) activities. The phthalate metabolic pathway was accelerated, which improved the cometabolic degradation. This study provided a new reference for the cometabolic degradation of HMW-PAHs.
