Abstract
El Herbario Nacional de Bolivia ha colectado hongos degradadores de madera en la región de La Asunta, con el objetivo de utilizar su potencial degradador de clorofenoles, los mismos que han sido evaluados. El hongo H3.ssp (sin especiación) fue seleccionado en cultivos in vitro y se cuantifico su capacidad degradadora para tres compuestos organoclorados: 4-clorofenol, 2,4-diclorofenol y 5-cloro-2-(2,4-diclorofenoxi)fenol ó Triclosan; muestras que fueron tomadas del extracto del caldo de cultivo. Los parámetros evaluados fueron la cinética de absorción y desorcion de los compuestos clorofenolicos efectuado por los hongos (absorbatos), mediante la técnica de cuantificación de las concentraciones iniciales y finales por cromatografía de gases. La máxima adsorción de clorofenoles conseguida por los hongos H3 fue para Triclosan seguida del 2,4-diclorofenol y finalmente el 4-clorofenol. La afinidad de la adsorción hacia clorofenoles mas sustituidos, se debe a la baja polaridad, es decir cuantas más sustituciones tenga el fenol en la molécula será menos soluble en solventes polares (agua). Los clorofenoles atrapados por los hongos H3 fueron claramente dependientes del pH, por lo tanto, la adsorción de los clorofenoles se incrementa en función del pH. La desorción de los clorofenoles se ha conseguido utilizando metanol al 30% v/v. Y finalmente se ha logrado reportar que los hongos H3 son adecuados para ser utilizados por más de 5 ciclos sin notable pérdida de la capacidad de adsorción
The National Herbarium of Bolivia collected wood-degrading fungi in La Asunta region. The objective was fungi used as a chlorophenol-degrading agent. The fungus H3.ssp (without speciation) was selected in an in vitro culture due to its degrading capacity, quantifying three organochlorine compounds: 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol or Triclosan. Samples were taken from the culture broth extract. The parameters evaluated were the kinetics of absorption and desorption of chlorophenolic compounds made by fungi (absorbate), using the technique of quantifying the initial and final concentrations by gas chromatography. The maximal adsorption of chlorophenols by fungi was obtained for Triclosan H3 followed by the 2.4-dichlorophenol and finally the 4-chlorophenol. The adsorption affinity towards more substituted chlorophenols is due to the low polarity that is according to: the more substitutions has the phenol the less soluble is in polar solvents (water). Chlorophenols trapped by H3 fungi were clearly pH dependent, therefore, the adsorption of chlorophenols increases as a function of pH. Desorption of chlorophenols was achieved using methanol 30% v / v. And finally it has been reported that H3 fungi are suitable for its use for more than 5 cycles without noticeable loss of adsorption capacity
