The anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum-related compounds.
(1997)
The toxicity and biodegradation of mixtures of thiols, thiophenes, thiophenic acids and aromatic sulfides were determined under anaerobic conditions. Toxicity effects were dependent on the structure of the organosulfur ...
Microbial penetration through Berea sandstone and the effect of nitrate on biogenic sulfide production :
(1985)
Results from energy dispersion spectroscopy, and electron microscopy of autoclaved and dry-heat sterilized rock revealed that changes in mineral content and clay morphology of autoclaved rock could account for faster ...
Anaerobic reduction of hexavalent chromium by subsurface microorganisms.
(1999)
Anaerobic sediments from an aquifer contaminated with landfill leachate were used to study the potential for microbial reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The lightly colored, sandy sediments slowly reduced Cr(VI) in viable, ...
Factors involved in cellular sensitivity to anthrax lethal toxin.
(2005)
The lethal factor (LF) component of Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LeTx) cleaves mitogen activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) in a variety of different cell-types, yet not all cells are susceptible to the toxin. ...
Microbial biosurfactant production: The effect of the Bacillus strain JF-2 biosurfactant on anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, and the presence of indigenous biosurfactant-producing bacteria in soils.
(2005)
A series of experiments was designed utilizing the biosurfactant produced by Bacillus JF2. Specifically, these experiments were designed to determine if the presence of various levels of pre-purified JF2 biosurfactant would ...
Microbial treatability of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) with a chemostat and a rotating biological contactor.
(1982)
AFFF proved nontoxic to sewage-type microorganisms within the RBC. However, an organic load of 11.8 kg m('-3) d('-1) resulted in a decrease in dissolved oxygen, thus enriching for "bulking-type" organisms within the first ...
Isolation and characterization of small naturally occurring plasmids from Desulfovibrio spp.
(2007)
These results suggest that these strains have different genomic organization. The presence of plasmid DNA was only detected in Desulfovibrio SR-1. On the basis of distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain ...
THE ANAEROBIC MICROBIAL METABOLISM OF ENERGY SUBSTRATES: AN EXPLORATION INTO COALBED METHANOGENESIS, THE BIODETERIORATION OF DIESEL FUEL, AND BIOCORROSION
(2013-12)
Under anaerobic conditions the complete mineralization of energy substrate can be achieved by specialized individual microorganisms or through syntrophic partnerships involving bacteria and archaea that ultimately convert ...
