Degradation of 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid by mixed cultures: kinetic analysis

The degradation of 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (6A2NS) by mixed cultures via an interspecies transfer of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5AS) was investigated using a continuous chemostat culture. Two different bacterial communities were employed. Steady-state data were obtained from a multi-species...

Zusammenfassung:	The degradation of 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (6A2NS) by mixed cultures via an interspecies transfer of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5AS) was investigated using a continuous chemostat culture. Two different bacterial communities were employed. Steady-state data were obtained from a multi-species culture only, but not from a defined two-species culture. Experimental data showed the conversion of 6A2NS into 5AS to be rate-determining for degradation.
