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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
RESPONSES OF TOTAL AND ACTIVE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES TO CLIMATE WARMING
(2019-12)
As illustrated by accumulating scientific evidence, unconscionable anthropogenic activities since industrialization such as intensive land utilization and accumulation of various greenhouse gases due to fossil fuel combustion ...
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 ...
Culture-independent characterization of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in unexplored extreme environments
(2021-08-05)
Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas in atmosphere. With increasing emissions and more effective in trapping heat than CO2, it contributes up to ~20% of total global warming. Methanotrophs playing a critical ...
