| Popis: | In recognition of the need to estimate biosorption for natural microbial populations, the variability of partition coefficients for two hydrophobic pollutants to natural populations from a variety of aquatic systems was investigated. Biosorption partition coefficents for pyrene [2.46(±0.6) × 10 4 ] and phenanthrene [6.34(±1) × 10 3 ] were nearly constant over 14 different microbial sources, consisting of sediments and soils from eight states. For these condensed ring aromatics, semi-empirical equations were developed relating biosorption partition coefficients to octanol/water partition coefficients and to water solubility and melting point. Concepts and relationships developed for these materials should extend to other families of hydrophobic compounds. |
