Description
Summary:Packed columns of zeolite A-Ca particles, fed with acetone or/and ethylene glycol containing synthetic medium, provide a tool for a physiological preparation of bacterial cell populations with solvent-utilizing and biofilm forming activity. Phased procedure and outlined schemes of column operations enable one to perform (under required conditions) high yield strain isolations and long-term (easy to monitor) physiological adaptations of both activities. Regarding attempts to isolate strains in the presence of a specific xenobiotic compound, the procedure is ready to be tested/applied across a wider spectrum of xenobiotics.
