p-Cresol biodegradation under denitrifying conditions: Isolation of a bacterial coculture

From polluted river sediment, two bacterial species were isolated which utilized p-cresol as the sole source of carbon when grown in coculture under nitrate-reducing conditions. One species, PC-07, metabolized p-cresol (pCr) anaerobically to p-hydroxybenzoate (pOHB), which in turn was further metabo...

Description
Summary:From polluted river sediment, two bacterial species were isolated which utilized p-cresol as the sole source of carbon when grown in coculture under nitrate-reducing conditions. One species, PC-07, metabolized p-cresol (pCr) anaerobically to p-hydroxybenzoate (pOHB), which in turn was further metabolized by the second isolate, PB-04. The PC-07 isolate was unable to degrade and utilize pOHB, and PB-04 was unable to utilize pCr, thereby demonstrating a syntrophic relationship for pCr utilization under anaerobic conditions.
