Aromatic compounds belong to one of the most widely distributed classes of organic
compounds in nature, and a significant number of xenobiotics belong to this family of …

Aromatic hydrocarbons contaminate many environments worldwide, and their removal often
relies on microbial bioremediation. Whereas aerobic biodegradation has been well studied …

The possibility that electrodes might serve as an electron acceptor to simulate the
degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons in anaerobic contaminated sediments was …

Effect of biofilm on corrosion scales of cast iron pipe was studied with the biofilm community
structure investigated by PCR-DGGE to give an explanation to MIC from the viewpoint of …

Thirty-two short term (∼ 7.5 h) abiotic experiments were conducted with new ductile iron and
copper coupons exposed to various water qualities, including pH (7 or 9), dissolved …

Leaching of iron, either as an impurity to be removed or as a metal to be recovered, requires
a different approach than that of the oxidative leaching that dominates biohydrometallurgy of …

The discovery that coal seam microbial communities contribute appreciably to coal seam
methane (CSM) reserves worldwide has led to an increased interest in the coal seam …

In the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica, the central intermediate of anaerobic
aromatic metabolism, benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA), is dearomatized by the ATP-dependent …

Natural estrogens such as estrone, 17β-estradiol, estriol, and the synthetic component of
contraceptive pills, 17α-ethinylestradiol, enter the municipal wastewater treatment plant via …

Fe (III) reducing bacteria (FeRB) play a vital role in the biogeochemical cycle of Fe, C and N
in nature. The volcanic lake can be considered as an ideal habitat for FeRB. Here, we …
