Although strictly anaerobic conditions prevail in several environmental compartments, up to
now, biodegradation studies with emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), such as …

This review is a survey of bacterial dehalogenases that catalyze the cleavage of halogen
substituents from haloaromatics, haloalkanes, haloalcohols, and haloalkanoic acids …

Chlorobenzenes are toxic, highly persistent and ubiquitously distributed environmental
contaminants that accumulate in the food chain. The only known microbial transformation of …

Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 dechlorinates tetrachloroethene to vinyl chloride
and ethene, and its genome has been found to contain up to 17 putative dehalogenase …

Bacterial degradation of the cyanobacterial cyclic peptide hepatotoxin microcystin was
confirmed in natural waters and by isolated laboratory strains. Degradation of 1 mg L− 1 …

Toxic aromatic pollutants, concentrated in industrial wastes and contaminated sites, can
potentially be eliminated by low cost bioremediation systems. Most commonly, the goal of …

A microscopically pure enrichment culture of a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, in the
present article referred to as PER-K23, was isolated from an anaerobic packed-bed column …

Considerable progress has been made in the last few years in understanding the
mechanisms of microbial degradation of halogenated aromatic compounds. Much is already …

Aerobic degradation of an alkane yields a fatty acid (top left). The appearance of 180 in the
intermediates during aerobic biodegradation confirms that the one atom of oxygen …

Over the past several years remediation by natural attenuation has become increasingly
accepted as a remedial alternative for organic compounds dissolved in groundwater. The …
