Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

Effects of cluster formation on spectra of benzo[a]pyrene and benzo[e]pyrene [PDF]
Absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and benzo[e]pyrene (BeP) in solution and adsorbed on silica have been obtained and compared to examine the spectroscopic effects of clustering. Molecular mechanics calculations with the UFF potential were done to optimize monomer, dimer and trimer ...
