peptones and 4-chloronitrobenzene

This paper introduces a novel approach to enhance the strains' biodegradation of 4-chloronitrobenzene by utilizing the synergistic effect of the organic reductant mannitol and the substrate beef extraction. Our results demonstrate that 4-chloronitrobenzene could not be an available nitrogen source to support target strains' growth, which induced the limited 4-chloronitrobenzene biodegradation. In addition, the organic reducing agent and substrate had a better synergistic effect than inorganic reducing agent and substrate to enhance the strains' 4-chloronitrobenzene cometabolic biodegradation. Employing the synergistic effect of the optimal mixture (mannitol and beef extraction), the biodegradation rates of 50mgL
