The use of fungi kingdom microorganisms in aromatic compound degradation

Abstract

The fungi kingdom microorganisms helps recycle nutrients as well as various organic compounds through ecosystems. Polycyclic aromatic carbons (PAC) like carbazole and phenothiazine are one of the well-known environmental pollutants that threaten our health. In order to reduce the contamination, the advantage of fungi kingdom microorganisms like S. Cerevisiae degrading properties was taken. The aim is to determine whether yeast are able to degrade polycyclic aromatic compounds. Various experiments were carried out in order to determine whether aromatic compounds like carbazole and phenothiazine have influence over the yeast growth and whether the yeast are able to degrade PAC compounds that are present in contaminated soil. The dependence of the effect of yeast on the growth of the plant from the organic pollutant concentration in the soil was determined.
