J. Vekova et al., DEGRADATION OF BROMOXYNIL BY RESTING AND IMMOBILIZED CELLS OF AGROBACTERIUM-RADIOBACTER 8 4-STRAIN/, Biotechnology letters, 17(4), 1995, pp. 449-452
The Agrobacterium radiobacter 8/4 strain capable of degradation of bro
moxynil, ioxynil and dichlobenil, arylnitrile herbicides was isolated
from soil and cell entrapment was investigated. Three immobilization t
echniques was used: Ca-alginate, Ca-pectate and kappa-carrageenan tech
nique, and resting cells. The highest degradation rates were obtained
with Ca-alginate and kappa-carrageenan entrapped cells.
