  • Intact cells of Acinetobacter sp. T5-7 completely degraded trichloroethylene (TCE) following growth with phenol. This strain could grow on at least eleven aromatic compounds, e.g., benzaldehyde, benzene, benzoate, benzylalochol, catechol, caffeic acid, 2.4-D, p-hydroxybenzoate, phenol, protocatechuate and salicylate, and did grow on alkane, such as octane. But except phenol, other aromatic compounds did not induced TCE degradation. Phenol biotransformation products, catechol was identified in the culture media. However, catechol-induced cells did not degrade TCE. So we assumed that phenol hydroxylase was responsible for the degradation of TCE. The isolate T5-7 showed growth in MM2 medium containing sodium lactate and catechol rather than phenol, but did not display phenol hydroxyalse activity, suggesting induction of enzyme synthesis by phenol. Phenol hydroxylase activity was independent of added NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide but was dependent on NADPH addition. Degradation of phenol produced catechols which are then cleaved by meta-fission. We identified catechol-2.3-dioxygenase by active staining of polyacrylamide gel.

  • A microorganism which degrades phenol and co-metabolizes trichloroethylene (TCE) was isolated from Yangsan stream after enrichment in a medium containing phenol as the sole carbon source. The isolate EL-43P was identified as the genus Rhodococcus by its morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics. Phenol-induced cells of Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P degraded TCE. Toluene and nutrient broth could not replace the phenol requirement. The optimal conditions of initial pH and temperature of media for growth were 7.0~9.0 and $30~50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P could grow with phenol up to 1,000 ppm. Growth was inhibited by phenol at a concentration above 1,500 ppm. It was observed that Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P was able to degrade 90% of phenol (1,000 ppm) after 40 h in a culture. Phenol-induced cells of Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P degraded 95% of $5{\mu}M$ TCE in 6 h. Rhodococcus sp. EL-43P hardly degraded TCE above $100{\mu}M$.

  • Streptomyces setonii(ATCC 39116) is a thermophilic gram-positive soil bacteria which undergoes an ortho-cleavage pathway in the presence of phenol or benzoate as a sole carbon and energy source. The specific activities of catechol-1,2-dioxygenase in S. setonii, a key enzyme in ortho-cleavage pathway, were induced by various aromatic compounds such as benzoate, phenol, m-hy-benzoate, p-hy-benzoate, catechol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, 2-chloro-phenol, and 4-chloro-phenol, among which the phenol showed the highest inducibility in the presence of 0.01% glucose. More than 0.1% glucose dramatically reduced the specific activities of catechol-1,2-dioxygenase induced by most of the single aromatic compounds tested.

  • Several microorganisms which degrade phenol and trichloroethylene(TCE) were isolated from the activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant. Among them, one isolate EL-04J showed the highest degradability and was identified as a Pseudomonas species according to morphological, cultural and biochemical properties. The phenol-induced cells of Pseudomonas EL-04J, which were preincubated in the mineral salts medium containing phenol as a sole carbon source, degraded 90% of 25$\mu$M TCE within 20h. This strain could also utilize some of methylated phenol derivatives (o-cresol, m-cresol and p-cresol) as the sole source of carbon and energy. Cresol-induced cells of Pseudomonas EL-04J also cometabolized TCE.

  • The bacterial strain which utilizes phenol and degrade TCE was isolated from an industrial waste site. The bacterial strain was named as T5-7 and identified as an Acinetobacter species. After phenol-induction, the strain T5-7 removed TCE efficiently without cell growth. So, it seems that TCE degradation was not related to cell growth. TCE degradation increased when initial cell concentrations of phenol-grown T5-7 were high. In the presence of phenol, initial degradation of TCE was delayed but total amount of degradation was not affected at final stage. The strain cultured in 0.1% yeast extract did not degrade TCE, which indicates that phenol induction was essential to the TCE degradation.

  • Pseudomanas sp. EL-04J was previously isolated from phenol-acclimated activated sludge. This bacterium was capable of degrading phenol and cometabolizing trichloroethylene (TCE). After precultivation in the mineral salts medium containing phenol as a sole carbon source, Pseudomonas EL-04J degraded 90% of TCE $25 \mu\textrm{M}$ within 20 hours. Thus, phenol-induced Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells can bdegrade TCE. Followsing a transient lag period, Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells degraded TCE at concentrations of at least $250 \mu\textrm{M}$ with no apparent retardation in rate, but the transformance capacity of such cells was limited and depended on the cell concentration. The degradation rate of TCE followed the Michaelis-Menten kinetic model. The maximum degradation ratio ($V_{max}$) and saturation constant ($K_{m}$) were $7nmo {\ell}/min{\cdot}mg$ cell protein and $11 \mu\textrm{M}$, respectively. Cometabolism of TCE by phenol fed experiment was evaluated in $50m {\ell}$ serum vial that contained $10m {\ell}$ of meneral sals medium supplemented with $10 \mu\textrm{M}$ TCE degradation was inhibited in the initial period of 1 mM phenol addition, but after that time Pseudomonas sp. EL-04J cells degraded TCE and showed cell growth.

  • The biodegradation of phenol in laboratory-contaminated soil was investigated using the Gram-positive soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. This study showed that the phenol degradation caused by C. glutamicum was greatly enhanced by the addition of 1% yeast extract. From the toxicity test using Daphnia magna, the soil did not exhibit any hazardous effects after the phenol was removed using C. glutamicum. Additionally, the treatment of the phenol-contaminated soils with C. glutamicum increased various soil amino acid compositions, such as glycine, threonine, isoleucine, alanine, valine, leucine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. This phenomenon induced an increase in the seed germination rate and the root elongation of Avena sativa (oat). This probably reflects that increased soil amino acid composition due to C. glutamicum treatment strengthens the plant roots. Therefore, the phenol-contaminated soil was effectively converted through increased soil amino acid composition, and additionally, the phenol in the soil environment was biodegraded by C. glutamicum.

  • Benzene is known as a ubiquitous air pollutant and has a carcinogenic influence on the human body. Benzene is also metabolized to other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the body such as phenol and hydroquinone (HQ). The metabolites are accumulated and further oxidized by myeloperoxidase in bone marrow. They act as toxic agents and cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, atopic dermatitis and asthma. In this study, we examined the effects of benzene and its metabolites on proliferation, differentiation and chemotaxis of EoL-1 cells, the human eosinophilic leukemia cell line. These chemicals had no effect on the proliferation of EoL-1 cells. Benzene decreased the differentiation of EoL-1 cells induced by butyric acid. HQ was induced the cell death during butyric acid-induced EoL-1 cell differentiation. In a chemotaxis experiment, benzene, phenol and HQ enhanced the cell migration induced by Lkn-1 but not by MCP-1, eotaxin, MIP-$1{\alpha}$ and RANTES. These findings provide the effect of VOCs on the regulation of eosinophil-involved immune response.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the potential of phenol to induce embryotoxicity in the Sprague-Dawley rat. Seventy mated rats were distributed among three treated troups, a vehicle control group and a negative control group. Phenol was at dose levels of 20, 60 and 180mg/kg/day adminsistered by gavage to pregnant rats three times per day from days 7 to 12 of gestation. All dams were subjected to the caesarean section on day 20 of gestation. At 120mg/kg, dams exhibited decreased locomotivity. In addition, both weight reduction and retarded ossification of fetuses were observed. There were no signs of maternal toxicity or embryotoxicity at 20 and 60mg/kg. The results show that phenol induces fetal growth retardation at maternally subtoxic dose in rats.

  • The recombinant bioluminescent Escherichia coli strains, DPD2511 and TV 1061 containing the katG and grpE promoters, respectively, from Vibrio fischeri fused to luxCDABE, were used to detect the adaptive and repair responses to oxidative damage caused by hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$, and protein damage due to phenol. The response ratio, represented as the bioluminescence induced in subsequent inductions of DPD2511 and TV1061 with the mother cells previously induced by each chemical, i.e., $H_2O_2$ and phenol during the previous induction stage, decreased suddenly compared with the ratio of the control culture of each strain, meaning there is a possible adaptive response to stress caused by chemicals. Protein damage due to phenol was completely repaired by the second culturing after the initial induction, as was oxidative damage caused by $H_2O_2$ which was also rapidly repaired, as detected by the recovery of bioluminescence level. This result suggests that E. coli promptly adapt and repair oxidative and protein damage by $H_2O_2$ and phenol completely.
