Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) by microorganisms.
TL;DR: HCH biodegradation in soil has been reported at both low and high (saturated) moisture contents, and soil texture and organic matter appear to influence degradation presumably by sorption mechanisms and impact on moisture retention, bacterial growth and pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring bioremediation in creosote-contaminated soils using chemical analysis and toxicity tests.
TL;DR: In this article, three soils with a history of creosote contamination (designated NB, TI and AC) were treated in bench-scale microcosms using conditions (nutrient amendment, moisture content and temperature) which had promoted mineralization of 14C-pyrene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full-scale in situ bioremediation of hexachlorocyclohexane-contaminated soil
TL;DR: Daramend bioremediation technology was used to treat 1100 tonnes of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated soil at a former lindane manufacturing plant as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colorimetric assay for Lindane dechlorination by bacteria.
TL;DR: A colorimetric microtitre plate-based assay was modified to detect dechlorination of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (Lindane) and represents a new inexpensive and rapid screening tool for the detection of Lindane-degrading microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of a soil bacterium with extracellular emulsifying activity
TL;DR: The results suggest that UG2 emulsifying agent may have a potential application in remediation of PCB‐contaminated soil that has also been inoculated with PCB‐degrading organism(s).
