Evaluation of MTBE environmental impact and biodegradation - sborník

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a synthetic compound that was developed as a technological solution to a technology-derived problem created by air pollution from vehicle emissions. Since 1979, MTBE has been used in the United States as an octane-enhancing replacement for lead, mainly in mid- and high-grade gassoline at concentrations higher than 8 percent (by volume). MTBE is soluble in water, it can move rapidly through soils and aquifers. Apart from influence on taste and odour of water, MTBE has apotential toxic effect not only on microorganisms, but more importantly, it was considered as a potential human carcinogen. One of the described methods used for removing of MTBE from soils and aquifers is microbial decomposition. Our research is focusedon determination of toxicity, genotoxicity and discovering of MTBE-degrading bacterial strains. Toxicity was detected using bacterial luminescent method Microtox, while genotoxicity was monitored by Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium h
