6 Biodegradation- Role of Microbes Great versatility of microbes
Simpler, economical more environmental friendly strategy
Bacterial - efficient in biotransformation processes
Strategies for obtaining energy from virtually every compound under oxic or anoxic conditions By using ultimate electron acceptors
such as nitrate, sulfate and ferric ions. Benzene ring next to glucosyl- to break

Eg: The reductive decolourization of sulfonated azodyes are efficiently accomplished by miscellaneous strains such as Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Xanthomonas, Aeromonas and Bacillus (Stolz, 2001)

13 Anaerobic Pathway
DealkyaltionNitro reductionHydrolysisDechlorinatio
nHalorespiration
Eg: Phthalate compound degradation is mainly carried out by anaerobic methanogens (Methanospirillum hungatei, Methanosaeta concilii, Syntrophobacter fumaroxidens), producing acetate and methane as end products by decarboxylation initially, then reduction followed by ring cleave and ultimately pave to the β-oxidation pathway (Qiu et al., 2004; Zhang and Bennet, 2005).

15 Co-metabolic pathway
Cometabolism
Aerobicmicrobial metabolism of another compound
with oxygen
Anaerobicmicrobial metabolism of another compound
in an environment devoid of oxygen
• Cometabolism - transformation of an organic compound by a microorganism that is unable to use the substrate as a source of energy
• Metabolites or transformation products from cometabolism by one organism can typically be used as an energy source by another
• Ensign et al. (1992) reported that pure cultures of Xanthobacter sp. cometabilized TCE with the utilization of propylene as a substrate using the enzyme alkene monooxygenase

21 Future Perspective
Organo sulphide compounds -to be explored. The efficiency - significantly improved by addressing key issues as
tolerance to various xenobiotics, constitutive expression of the catabolic genes and the substrate-specificity, kinetics The stability of the encoded enzyme.
The utility of constructed organisms in dealing with problems related to environmental pollution in nature is yet to be tested.
