Popis: | Embedding of Burkholderia cepacia G4 cells in a polyurethane-based foam decreased their culturability by more than four orders of magnitude. However, respiration rates of immobilized cells were at least 33-41% of unimmobilized cells. Embedded cells also degraded trichloroethylene. Therefore, respirometry is a more reliable indicator of viability of polyurethane immobilized bacteria than culturing methods. |
