Microbial Styrene Degradation: From Basics to Biotechnology
Styrene, the simplest representative of alkenylbenzenes, is one of the most important monomers produced by the chemical industry today. The compound... -
Mitigating Activity of Humic Substances: Direct Influence on Biota
Mitigating activity of HS can be defined as a phenomenon of lowering the adverse effects of contaminants toxicity and of those of abiotic stress... -
Degradation and Transformation of Organic Fluorine Compounds
An overview is given of the degradation and transformation of organic fluorine compounds by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, and fungi.... -
Aerobic and Anaerobic Biodegradation Potentials of Microorganisms
Microorganisms represent essential components of the global carbon cycle. In addition, it appears that most xenobiotic industrial chemicals can be... -
Accumulation of catechol by a wild-type strain of Rhodococcus from benzene
The breakdown of aromatic compounds has been extensively reviewed for the last three decades [1, 5, 10, 13, 23]. Pseudomonas has been the most... -
Transformation of Organic Micropollutants by Biological Processes
Although the main goal of biological drinking-water treatment is production of a biologically stable drinking water, biological processes can also... -
Review of Microbial Transformations
The various ways in which organic chemicals can be changed by the action of micro-organisms are reviewed. All organic compounds are capable of... -
Biodegradation and Transformation of Recalcitrant Compounds
The persistence of man-made chemicals may be a necessary requirement for compounds designed specifically for technical use, or of compounds, like...
