Influence of some physicochemical factors on dimethylterephthalate biodegradation.

ABSTRACT

The mixed microbial culture 189 possesses high biodegradation capacity against dimethylterepthalate (DMT)--a basic substance in polyester fibres production and an environmental pollutant. The process of its degradation was followed and the effect of some external factors (pH, concentration, accompanying substrates) on the growth of the association was shown.
