Chemolithotrophic bacteria that use sulfate as terminal electron acceptor (sulfate-reducing
bacteria) constitute a unique physiological group of microorganisms that couple anaerobic …

Nitroaromatic compounds are xenobiotics that have found multiple applications in the
synthesis of foams, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and explosives. These compounds are …

The sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are a large group of anaerobic organisms that play an
important role in many biogeochemical processes. Not only are they of early origins in the …

Sustainable chemistry aims at an improved efficiency of using natural resources which are
used to meet human needs for chemical products. Chemists in science and industry, have …

Contamination of soils and aquifers with (poly) nitroaromatic compounds ((P) NACs) is a
widespread problem. This work demonstrates that (P) NACs such as the explosive 2, 4, 6 …
