✦ Synopsis

Solutions of T7 bacteriophage or calf thymus DNA are degraded in solution by ultrasonic fields of low intensity in the presence of vibrating air bubbles but are not degraded at these low intensities when such bubbles are absent. Evidence is presented for the hydrodynamic nature of the observed degradation and theoretical simulation of a plausible degradation mechanism is compared with experimental degradation studies. It is concluded that degradation of such linear macromolecules as DNA may occur as a result of stresses induced in the macromolecule; these stresses are the result of a relative movement of solvent molecules and the macromolecules in the time-independent flow of solvent near the vibrating bubbles.

Solutions of calf thymus DNA have been degraded in the presence of vibrating air bubbles in ultrasonic fields of low power which would not normally induce ultrasonic cavitation. The DNA was degraded to a limiting intrinsic viscosity, after which further irradiation by ultrasound had little or no eff

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of coupling photocatalysis and a biological treatment for the removal of azo dyes from aqueous effluents. Biological processes do not always appear relevant for dyes removal, owing to the low or total absence of biodegr
