The relevance of the β‐proteobacterial Burkholderiales order in the degradation of a vast
array of aromatic compounds, including several priority pollutants, has been largely …

Pollution of the environment with aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylene (so-called BTEX) is often observed. The cleanup of these toxic …

Hydrocarbons have been part of the biosphere for millions of years, and a diverse group of
prokaryotes has evolved to use them as a source of carbon and energy. To date, the vast …

In the United States anthropogenic activities are mainly responsible for the wide spread
perchlorate contamination of drinking water, surface water, groundwater, and soil. Even at …

Benzene is a widespread and toxic contaminant. The fate of benzene in contaminated
aquifers seems to be primarily controlled by the abundance of oxygen: benzene is …

Abstract Background Initial interest in Dechloromonas aromatica strain RCB arose from its
ability to anaerobically degrade benzene. It is also able to reduce perchlorate and oxidize …

The degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) contaminants in
groundwater relies largely on anaerobic processes. While the physiology and biochemistry …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are regarded as promising alternatives to anaerobic benzene,
toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) mineralization due to the enhancement of …

In current study, nano-Fe 3 O 4@ activated coke enhanced bio-system (FEBS) under limited-
oxygen condition was applied for efficient treatment of aromatic organics in coal pyrolysis …

Microorganisms can degrade saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) not only under oxic but also
under anoxic conditions. Three denitrifying isolates (strains HxN1, OcN1, HdN1) able to …
