Utilization of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid as source of phosphorus by environmental bacterial isolates

Six bacterial strains able to degrade aerobically 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) were isolated. The bacteria used PBTC as sole source of phosphorus in the presence of an alternative source of carbon. The microorganisms were taken from various ecosystems, e.g. river water, river se...

Zusammenfassung:	Six bacterial strains able to degrade aerobically 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) were isolated. The bacteria used PBTC as sole source of phosphorus in the presence of an alternative source of carbon. The microorganisms were taken from various ecosystems, e.g. river water, river sediment and activated sludge. PBTC up to a concentration of 1 mM (270 mg/l) was completely degraded by a defined mixed culture.
