Rhizosphere ecology of PCB-degrading bacteria at a contaminated site and implications for bioremediation.
(2003)
Rhizosphere bioremediation is an emerging technology that relies on plant roots to enhance bacterial biodegradation of soil contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), providing an inexpensive alternative to ...
Characterization of Some Actinomyces-Like Isolates from Human Clinical Sources: Description of Varibaculum cambriensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
(2003-02)
Fifteen strains of an anaerobic, catalase-negative, gram-positive diphtheroid-shaped bacterium recovered from human sources were characterized by phenotypic and molecular chemical and molecular genetic methods. The ...
Formate-Dependent Growth and Homoacetogenic Fermentation by a Bacterium from Human Feces: Description of Bryantella formatexigens gen. nov., sp. nov.
(2003-10)
Formate stimulates growth of a new bacterium from human feces. With high formate, it ferments glucose to acetate via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. The original isolate fermented vegetable cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, ...
The anaerobic biodegradation of ethylcyclopentane and intermediates of benzoate metabolism by microorganisms from a hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer.
(2003)
In this thesis, I examine the microbial degradation of an alicyclic hydrocarbon and the intermediates of benzoate decay under anaerobic conditions. Ethylcyclopentane was chosen as a model alicyclic hydrocarbon because GC ...
