Notes:
A toluene-degrading Pseudomonas species isolated from waste water was studied with regard to its growth behaviour. The dependence of the growth rate on the pH value, on the toluene concentration and on temperature, as well as the O2 consumption of the isolate were determined. The fact that toluene is a highly volatile substrate, which is present both in the liquid and in the has phase of a reactor, was considered in the experiments. It is shown that the volatility of toluene has to be taken into consideration for an accurate determination of the toluene concentration in the medium.
