Pyrene, a four-ring PAHs, is a typical pollutant in coking wastewater, which is difficult to
biodegrade in the conventional biological wastewater treatment processes. Biodegradation …

As a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), pyrene is one of hazardous persistent organic
pollutants in the aquatic environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence …

Herbaspirillum chlorophenolicum strain FA1, a gram-negative bacterium isolated from
activated sludge, was found to be able to use pyrene as sole carbon and energy sources …

A pyrene-degrading consortium was enriched from sludge of coking wastewater treatment
plant which included a combination of aerobic and anaerobic reactors. Biodegradation of …

Pyrene is one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are a potential threat to
ecosystems due to their mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and teratogenicity. In this study …

A white‐rot fungus of Polyporus sp. S133 was isolated from an oil‐polluted soil. The
metabolism of pyrene by this fungus was investigated in liquid medium with 5 mg of the …

Abstract Pseudomonas monteilii PL5 (PL5) was newly isolated from soil sample and was
identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The strain PL5 had a high potential to degrade …

Being electron acceptors, the amount of nitrate (nitrite) significantly affect the benzo (a)
pyrene (BaP) biodegradation of Microbacterium sp. under denitrifying conditions. In the …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with high molecular weight are difficult to degrade
owing to their chemical structure and stability. This study reports degradation of pyrene by …

Industrial effluents contaminated sites may serve as repositories of ecologically adapted
efficient pyrene degrading bacteria. In the present study, six bacterial isolates from industrial …
