TL;DR: Results published indicate that in some sites, intrinsic bioremediation can reduce the monoaromatic compounds content of contaminated water to reach standard levels of potable water, however, engineering biOREmediation is faster and more efficient.

TL;DR: Various properties of monoaromatic compounds including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and mixture of xylenes are reviewed and knowledge gained on the true removal rates by aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors are discussed in this study.

TL;DR: The gas balance method is more rapid than either the steady-state gassing-in or the chemical sulphite reaction rate measurement methods and well adapted for three-phase systems (gas–liquid–solid) in which the non-coalescing effects of sulphite solution are reduced by solid interferences.

TL;DR: This work demonstrated that the protocol for sample treatment, necessary to remove the microbial biomass prior to an analysis, is a critical issue for obtaining accurate results when volatile compounds are present, and found that the centrifugation technique developed could be used for the experimental determination of the activity coefficient of solubilized volatile compounds.

TL;DR: The bovine gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the main reservoir for enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) responsible for food-borne infections and it is crucial to develop strategies, such as EH EC suppression by antagonistic microorganisms, to reduce EHEC survival in the GIT of cattle and to limit shedding and food contamination.
