Phosphonates are a class of organophosphorus compounds characterized by Carbon-Phosphorus (C–P) bond[1].Phosphonatesoccur widely among xenobiotics.Pollution of the environment by phosphonatesaroused interest in their pathways and mechanisms of biodegradation[2]
The flask was made to mark with deionized water. 2-aminoethylphosphonate (0.0005mol, 0.11g/l) served as phosphorus source in culture medium A, diethylethylphosphonate (0.0005mol, 1.0 ml/l) served as phosphorus source in culture medium B while potassium hydrogen phosphate (0.0005mol, 0.087g/l) served as phosphorus source in culture medium C
The following procedure was used for the preparation of the Test and Blank solutions: Filtrates of Broth culture medium A were used
Summary
Phosphonates are a class of organophosphorus compounds characterized by Carbon-Phosphorus (C–P) bond[1]. Pollution of the environment by phosphonatesaroused interest in their pathways and mechanisms of biodegradation[2]. As a result of their structural similarity to some phosphate esters, phosphonatescould act as inhibitors of enzymes[3]. Bacteria and fungi play a major role in phosphonate biodegradation in soil[4,5,6]. The first phosphonate to be identified to occur naturally was 2aminoethylphosphonic acid, found in membranes of plants and many animals[3].Organophosphonates are used in large quantities as pesticides, flame retardants, corrosion inhibitors and plasticizers [7]. The Carbon-Phosphorus bond is resistant to chemical degradation[8]. There exists a good number of micro-organisms possessing the ability to biodegrade Carbon-Phosphorus bond of ADELOWO et al, Orient.
