Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Time course of phenol and BTEX concentration in (A) Mix 1, (B) Mix 2 and (C) Mix 3 in C. vulgaris-R. opacus cultures incubated with a mixture of the five pollutants under a N2/CO2 (70/30 %) atmosphere. Initial concentrations of the pollutants (100 %) in the mixture were 25 mg L−1 of phenol, and 3, 3, 8 mg L−1 for benzene and toluene, 1, 3, 3 mg L−1 for ethylbenzene; and 0.5, 1, 1 mg L−1 for o-xylene in Mix 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Article Snippet: The microorganisms used in this work were the freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris SAG 211-11b (SAG Culture Collection of Algae, Germany) and the bacterium Rhodococcus opacus DSM 43205 (DSMZ, Germany).
