Phenol is a priority pollutant that presents a significant threat to human health and natural
systems when discharged directly into the environment. Consequently, numerous …

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of
methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET), composed of terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol
(EG), is the most commonly produced polyester. Unrecycled PET waste causes serious …

Pseudomonas stutzeri is a nonfluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the
environment, and it has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. Over …

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 …

Many bacteria in the environment have adapted to the presence of toxic heavy metals. Over
the last 30 years, this heavy metal tolerance was the subject of extensive research. The …

Biological conversion of natural gas to liquids (Bio-GTL) represents an immense economic
opportunity. In nature, aerobic methanotrophic bacteria and anaerobic archaea are able to …

Cupriavidus necator JMP134 is a model for chloroaromatics biodegradation, capable of
mineralizing 2, 4-D, halobenzoates, chlorophenols and nitrophenols, among other aromatic …

Lignin, a highly heterogeneous polymer of lignocellulosic biomass, is intricately associated
with cellulose and hemicellulose, responsible for its strength and rigidity. Lignin …

The biggest challenge in the biological valorization of lignin is the achievement of a simple
and effective route to produce fine chemicals through bacteria. In this study, system biology …
