The role of vegetation in the phytoremediation and ecological recovery of hazardous waste sites.
(2000)
The growth of plant roots in contaminated soils is of paramount importance to the success of phytoremediation. Field observations, coupled with chemical analysis, indicated that the presence of plant roots growing in the ...
Microbially-mediated reduction and oxidation of uranium: Implications for the bioremediation of uranium(VI)-contaminated aquifers.
(2004)
Mechanisms of nitrate-dependent U(IV) were assessed by incubating biogenic U(IV) with nitrite or Fe(III). Fe(III) rapidly but incompletely oxidized U(IV) since Fe(II) accumulated during the reaction and inhibited any further ...
Microbiology of water and wastewater: Discovery of a new genus numerically dominant in municipal wastewater and antimicrobial resistances in numerically dominant bacteria from Oklahoma lakes.
(2005)
Three bacterial isolates from municipal wastewater were investigated for their phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular characters. All strains were isolated from municipal wastewater, and the type strain, NRS1T, was isolated ...
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 ...
