Biodegradation of low-molecular-weight halogenated hydrocarbons by methanotrophic bacteria.
Low-molecular-weight halogenated hydrocarbons are susceptible to degradation by anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. The methanotrophic bacterium Methylosinus trichosporium 0B3b degrades trichloroethylene more rapidly than other bacteria examined to date. Expression of soluble methane monooxygenase (MMO) is correlated with high rates of biodegradation. An analysis of 16 S rRNA sequences of 11 riboso...
متن کاملIncompatibility of metam sodium with halogenated fumigants.
Metam sodium (metam) is a widely used soil fumigant. Combined application of metam and other available fumigants is intended to produce synergic pesticidal effects for a broad spectrum of pest control in soil fumigation. This study aimed to test the compatibility of metam with the halogenated fumigants 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D), chloropicrin, methyl bromide, methyl iodide and propargyl bromid...
متن کاملAromatic Hydrocarbon Decomposition by Neustonic Bacteria Part I. Single-ring Hydrocarbon Biodegradation
The present paper provides an account of a study on benzene, toluene and xylene degradation by neustonic and planktonic bacteria in lake Jeziorak Maty. Aromatic hydrocarbons were better decomposed by neustonic bacteria than planktonic bacteria. Moreover, the obtained data point to the total number of bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria number being greater in surface microlayer than in subsurfa...
متن کاملBiodegradation of halogenated organic compounds.
In this review we discuss the degradation of chlorinated hydrocarbons by microorganisms, emphasizing the physiological, biochemical, and genetic basis of the biodegradation of aliphatic, aromatic, and polycyclic compounds. Many environmentally important xenobiotics are halogenated, especially chlorinated. These compounds are manufactured and used as pesticides, plasticizers, paint and printing-...
متن کاملAdvances in the field of high‐molecular‐weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation by bacteria
Interest in understanding prokaryotic biotransformation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HMW PAHs) has continued to grow and the scientific literature shows that studies in this field are originating from research groups from many different locations throughout the world. In the last 10 years, research in regard to HMW PAH biodegradation by bacteria has been further ad...
