논문 초록 (Abstract)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous contaminants in t he soil environment, and considered to be hazardous due to their toxic a nd carcinogenic properties. Intermediates accumulation during PAHs degra dation significantly alters the overall biodegradation rate and toxicity of the soil environment. The biodegradation pathway of phenanthrene, a 3-ring PAH, consisting of14 enzymatic steps was analyzed to determine the release pattern of the intermediates by mathematical calculation of permeability using a membrane transport model. The intermediates with h igh permeability such as 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid were consistent with the compounds frequently observed in laboratory or field in the literat ure.
