This paper investigated the effects of β-cyclodextrins （I3-CD） and its two derivatives, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin （HPCD） and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin （CMCD）, on the solubility and biodegradation of 2-n...This paper investigated the effects of β-cyclodextrins （I3-CD） and its two derivatives, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin （HPCD） and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin （CMCD）, on the solubility and biodegradation of 2-nitrophenyl by an A cinetbacter sp. Results showed that β-CD, HPCD and CMCD could not be utilized by A cinetbacter sp. as sole carbon source and none of the CDs had toxic effects on the growth of the bacteria in the experiments; all the CDs could enhance the apparent solubility and accelerate the biodegradation of 2-nitrobipheny. It showed that biodegradation-accelerating effects of CDs on 2-nitrobiphenyl were correlated with their solubility-enhancing effects. Among three CDs investigated, CMCD had the most obvious effects both on the apparent solubility and the biodegradation, followed by β-CD and HPCD.展开更多
