Anaerobic biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Environmental Research, 2023
Although many anaerobic microorganisms that can degrade PAHs have been harnessed, there is still a large gap between laboratory achievements and practical applications. Here, we review the recent advances in the biodegradation of PAHs under anoxic conditions and highlight the mechanistic insights into the metabolic pathways and functional genes ...

Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1996
Anaerobic biodegradation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons is a promising alternative to aerobic biodegradation treatments in bioremediation processes. It is now proven that, besides toluene, benzene and ethylbenzene can be oxidized under anaerobic redox conditions.

Anaerobic biodegradability testing of surfactants

Chemosphere, 1995
Anionic and nonionic surfactants (5-50 mg C/g solids/L medium) were screened for anaerobic microbial decomposition to methane in an automated pressure transducer serum bottle assay system at 35C using municipal digester solids as a source of anaerobic bacteria.

Anaerobic biodegradation of nitroglycerin

Water Research, 1997
Abstract Nitroglycerin (C 3 H 5 (ONO 2 ) 3 ) or glycerol trinitrate (GTN), a constituent of various propellant formulations and a vasodilator prescribed to treat angina pectoris and other heart diseases, was completely mineralized in serum vials under strict anaerobiosis by mixed cultures from an anaerobic digester.
