The increased intraocular pressure (IOP) constitutes its main risk factor. Nowadays, treatments for glaucoma are focused on decreasing IOP; nevertheless, progression disease continues, despite IOP control. This fact shows existence other...

24 Investigations of environmental microbial communities are crucial for the discovery of 25 populations capable of degrading hazardous compounds and may lead to improved 26 bioremediation strategies. The goal of this study was to identify microorganisms responsible for 27 aerobic benzene degradation in coal-tar contaminated groundwater. Benzene degradation was 28 monitored in laboratory incuba...
