title: [Biodegradation Characteristics and Kinetics of p-nitrophenol by Strain Arthrobacter sp. CN2].
abstract: To investigate the application potential of the p-nitrophenol-degrading bacterium Arthrobacter sp. CN2 in practice, the effects of pH, salinity and additional carbon source were determined, and the degradation kinetics of p-nitrophenol was analyzed. Strain CN2 could degrade p-nitrophenol efficiently in a wide range of pH (7.0-8.0) and elevated salinity (0-60 g · L(-1)). Investigation of additional glucose found that 0.5% of glucose could significantly increase the degrading speed and the time to reach 90% of degradation rate was shortened by 16 hours. These results indicated that strain CN2 could degrade p-nitrophenol efficiently under different conditions and had a great potential for application in practice.
