Physiological attributes of microbial BTEX degradation in oxygen-limited environments.
Our work has focused on the determination of physiological traits that may facilitate in situ degradation of xenobiotic compounds by indigenous microorganisms. For this our interests center on the following questions: What are the ambient conditions in a benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX)-contaminated aquifer? What is the behavior of indigenous bacteria under these conditions? Wh...
متن کاملMicrobial aspects of anaerobic BTEX degradation.
Combined with conventional methods, developments in both geochemical (delineation of redox processes) and molecular microbial methods (analysis of 16S rDNA genes and functional genes) have allowed us to study in details microorganisms and genes involved in the anaerobic degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) under specific redox conditions. This review summarizes recent...
متن کاملMicrobial degradation of monoterpenes in the absence of molecular oxygen.
Anaerobic degradation of natural monoterpenes by microorganisms was evaluated by using Pseudomonas citronellolis DSM 50332 and enrichment cultures containing nitrate as an electron acceptor. P. citronellolis grew anaerobically on 3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol and citronellol but not on geraniol, nerol, and alicyclic monoterpenes. In contrast, several a-, mono-, and bicyclic monoterpenes supported micr...
متن کاملEnumeration and characterization of BTEX-degrading bacteria from hypoxic environments functional with mixed electron acceptors.
Our work developed oat of an interest in the behaviour of bacteria resident in benzene-, toluene-, ethylbenzeneand xylene(s)-(Le., BTEX)-contamihated aquifers. We observed that such environments are oxygen-limited, yet continueus monitoring over extended periods suggested that BTEX contaminants were disappearing and the contaminant plume may be diminished. Such observations suggested that signi...
