An approach to the metabolic degradation of diethylketone (DEK) by Streptococcus equisimilis : effect of DEK on the growth, biodegradation kinetics and efficiency

Abstract The degradation of diethylketone by Streptococcus equisimilis was evaluated. The toxicity of diethylketone was assessed evaluating the growth of the bacteria for the range of diethylketone concentration between 0 and 6.4 g L−1. The maximum specific growth rate achieved is 0.555 h−1 at 3.2 g...
