1	Determination of Biotransformation and Biodegradation Rate Constants for Naphthalene, Lindane and Phenol Crawford, Judith Chase 12 1900 (has links) Biotransformation and biodegradation rate constants were determined for naphthalene, lindane, and phenol in water samples from three different sources. Rate constants produced from monitoring disappearance of the parent chemical (biotransformation) were compared to those obtained from mineralization of the chemical (ultimate biodegradation) by ¹⁴CO₂ evolution as well as acidification of the residual ¹⁴C-labeled compound (primary biodegradation). Rate constants were statistically different for the three chemicals. The water source affected the rate constants. When biomass measurements of the waters were considered and second-order rate constants were derived, there was no statistical evidence that this parameter gave a reliable rate constant statistic that could be useful in predicting the fate of any of naphthalene, lindane, and phenol in these waters. biotransformation rate constants biodegradation rate constants Naphthalene -- Metabolic detoxication. Naphthalene -- Biodegradation. Hexachlorocyclohexane -- Biodegradation. Phenol -- Metabolic detoxication. Phenol -- Biodegradation.
