Adaptation of Pseudomonas putida Strain BS3701 to Low Temperature in the Presence of Different Carbon Sources
摘要
Abstract
Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of Pseudomonas putida strain BS3701 grown in liquid mineral medium with naphthalene, salicylate, and glucose as sole carbon sources were investigated at 6 and 28°C. Activity of the degradation enzymes was shown to depend on temperature and the substrate type. Morphological modifications of the cells and accumulation of different intracellular storage compounds under different cultivation conditions were observed. Our results indicate high adaptability of the strain and its potential for bioremediation of contaminated areas under normal and reduced ambient temperatures.
