Alkaliphilic Hydrocarbon Degraders
2010High pH combined with pollution by plant oils, petroleum hydrocarbons and other hydrophobic compounds is commonplace, yet little is known about alkaliphilic and alkalitolerant microbes that can degrade such compounds. We introduce the environments where this is a problem, briefly mention the alkaliphilic and alkalitolerant degraders of oxygen ...

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons†
Toxicological & Environmental Chemistry, 1982The filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans, oxidizes naphthalene, biphenyl, benzo[a]‐pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene and 3‐methyIcholanthrene to the same metabolic products that are formed by mammals. The initial oxidation products are apparently arene oxides that can isomerize to phenols or undergo enzymatic hydration to form trans‐dihydrodiols. In the

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Degradation: A Molecular Approach
1991Aromatic hydrocarbons have a ubiquitous distribution in nature. The majority of these compounds are formed through the pyrolysis of organic matter. Pyrolysis at high temperatures leads to the formation of unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (1).

Degradation of tetraethyllead during the degradation of leaded gasoline hydrocarbons in soil
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1998Abstract For over 50 years, leaded gasoline was the only fuel for automobiles, and tetraethyllead (TEL) was the major octane number enhancer used in leaded gasoline. Ample information is available on the fate and remediation of gasoline hydrocarbons in contaminated subsoils and groundwater.

Psychrophiles - Cold-Adapted Hydrocarbon-Degrading Microorganisms
2010Throughout the year a high percentage of the biosphere, about 85%, is permanently exposed to temperatures below 5 C. Despite the inhospitable nature of low-temperature environments they are successfully colonized by cold-adapted microorganisms (both psychrophiles and psychrotolerant).

Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
2018Nowadays, petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants keep on being a genuine natural worry because of the managed development of petroleum oil extraction, related generation which ends up noticeably with ecological issue. The expanding in industrial progression causes expanding in a petroleum-essential product consistently to cover the human needs.

The physiology of aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria
1994Aromatic hydrocarbons are ubiquitous in nature. Indeed, next to glucosyl residues, the benzene ring is the most widely distributed unit of chemical structure in nature (Dagley 1981). The amount and variety of aromatic hydrocarbons generated by commercial and industrial activities has continued to increase over the years.
