New Routes for Aerobic Biodegradation of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate [PDF]
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), an osmolyte in marine plants, is biodegraded by cleavage of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) or by demethylation to 3-methiolpropionate (MMPA) and 3-mercaptopropionate (MPA). Sequential demethylation has been observed only with anoxic slurries of coastal sediments.

Carbon isotope fractionation during aerobic biodegradation of trichloroethene by Burkholderia cepacia G4: a tool to map degradation mechanisms [PDF]
The strain Burkholderia cepacia G4 aerobically mineralized trichloroethene (TCE) to CO2 over a time period of similar to20 h. Three biodegradation experiments were conducted with different bacterial optical densities at 540 nm (OD(540)s) in order to test

One difficulty in using bioremediation at a contaminated site is demonstrating that biodegradation is actually occurring in situ. The stable isotope composition of contaminants may help with this, since they can serve as an indicator of biological ...

Effects of thermochemical pretreatment on the biodegradability of sludge from a biological wastewater treatment system [PDF]
The effects of thermochemical pretreatment on the sludge biodegradability were examined. Two types of tests were conducted: aerobic biodegradation and denitrification using thermochemically pretreated sludge as carbon source.

An investigation into the bioremediation of black olive brine wastewater [PDF]
In South Africa, the table olive industry is burgeoning and as a consequence, the large volume of fermentation wastewaters that are generated have created environmental concerns, as these wastewaters have the potential to pollute rivers and ground waters.

Biodegradation of phenol by aerobic granulation technology
High organic load and fluctuation in organic load in terms of total phenols is fed into a SBR of higher height and diameter ratio (H/D 20) and operated at 4 h cycle basis with a volumetric exchange ratio of 50% resulting in a constant HRT of 8 h. Successful cultivation of aerobic granules was achieved.
