Fluorescent, Root-colonizing Recombinant Bacteria to Enhance the Rhizosphere Degradation of TCE
Abstract
The remediation of trichloroethylene (TCE) and chlorinated solvents was investigated using fluorescent and root-colonizing recombinant bacteria. The recombinant bacteria was found to be stable which maintained growth characteristics of original host bacteria. The genetically engineered microorganisms (GEM) demonstrated growth and proliferation when it was reintroduced into rhizophore of poplar tree. The growth patterns were also analyzed under different conditions along poplar roots where individual bacteria and colonies were visualized.
