background: among alkanes, n-alkanes with medium chain have been identified as the most important contaminants of the soil. n-hexadecane (c16h34) with low solubility in water also belongs to this group and has been used by many researchers as a model contaminant. the present study aimed to investigate the effect of the external source of carbon (glucose) as co-substrate on removal of hexadecane...

Background: The presence of pharmaceuticals at low concentrations (ng to μg) in the environment has become a hot spot for researchers in the past decades due to the unknown environmental impact and the possible damages they might have to the plantae and fauna present in the aquatic systems, as well as to the other living organisms.Objectives: The aim of t...

Carbon monoxide can act as a substrate for different modes of fermentative anaerobic metabolism. The trait of utilizing CO is spread among a diverse group of microorganisms, including members of bacteria as well as archaea. Over the last decade this metabolism has gained interest due to the potential of converting CO-rich gas, such as synthesis gas, into bio-based products. Three main types of ...
