TABLE 2.
Ability of pLac Gy to remove phenolic pollutants in absence and presence of ABTS as a redox mediator. Assay mixture included 1 µM pLac Gy , 1 mM ABTS, 50 µM CuCl2, 0.5 mM phenolic compound in 0.04 M Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 5.0). The mixture was incubated overnight at 60°C with shaking at 500 rpm. All experiments were conducted in triplicates and uncertainties represent standard deviations.
| Compound | Removal by pLac Gy in absence of ABTS (%) | Removal by pLac Gy in presence of ABTS (%) |
| Guaiacol | 19 ± 1.5 | 93 ± 0.2 |
| Phenol | 14 ± 1.9 | 55 ± 1.9 |
| BPA | 8 ± 0.8 | 25 ± 0.7 |
