ABSTRACT

A compost sample from a solid waste treatment plant of a Brasilian city, Araraquara, SP, was submitted to a sequential extraction procedure to evaluate the contamination and to asses the bioavailability of some heavy metals. The metal concentrations obtained by acid digestion (HNO3/HF/HCIO4) in the compost were (in mug.g-1): Cd=2.8; Cu=295; Pb=244 and Zn=1,481. The fraction of available metals, as extracted by magnesium chloride, was approximately 1 per cent for each of the metals Cu, Pb and Zn, and 16 per cent for Cd. The remaining amounts were sequentially leached off with increasingly stronger extractans, namely, sodium acetate, hydroxylamine hydrocloride and hydrogen peroxide. The bulk amounts found by this sequence were: Cd=46 per cent; Cu=74 per cent; Pb=21 per cent and Zn=79 per cent. Finally, the residual matrix was digested by a HF/HCIO4 treatment.

ABSTRACT

O fungo termo-celulolítico Humicola sp apresentou alta atividade de exo-ß-D-glucanase (C1) ligada a célula e baixa atividade de endo ß-Glucanase (Cx) ligada a célula e no sobrenadante. Celulose microcristalina foi melhor indutor de celulase e melhor fonte de carbono do que carboximetil celulose. A atividade de ß-glucosidase foi medida somente so sobrenadante da cultura e seu valor foi maior quando carboximetil celulose foi usada como fonte de carbono em pH 7.0

ABSTRACT

A espécie termofílica do fungo Humicola sp, capaz de crescer em celulose como fonte de carbono, foi isolada de composto. O fungo apresentou melhor crescimento a temperatura de 40-C e pH 6.0. A ausência de K+ ou a presença de citrato a 10mM em meio de cultura inibiram seu crescimento. A inibiçäo na presença de citrato foi devida a seu efeito quelante de Mg++. O fungo foi capaz de utilizar as seguintes fontes de carbono: acetato, ágar-ágar, amido, carboximetilcelulose, celobiose, glucose, lactose, manose e xilose
