Although most organisms have detoxification abilities (ie mineralization, transformation
and/or immobilization of pollutants), microorganisms, particularly bacteria, play a crucial role …

Autochthonous bioaugmentation (ABA) strategies are primarily carried out using a single,
highly efficient type of bacteria that is capable of directly degrading the target compound …

Prior to gene transfer experiments performed with nonsterile soil, plasmid pJP4 was
introduced into a donor microorganism, Escherichia coli ATCC 15224, by plate mating with …

Successful application of bioaugmentation for enhanced degradation of environmental
pollutants is often limited by the lack of methods to monitor the survival and activity of …

In silico models for Pseudomonas putida KT2440 metabolism predict 68 genes to be
