Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of a Pseudomonas stutzeri strain that degrades o-xylene.
TL;DR: The suggested hypothesis is that the first metabolic steps of growth on o-xylene involve the direct oxygenation of the aromatic nucleus, followed by meta pathway reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Styrene Catabolism by a Strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens.
TL;DR: A pathway for styrene metabolism through the intermediary formation of phenylacetate and o-hydroxyphenylacetic acids which is further oxidized via homogentisate is suggested and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol by a specialized organism and by indigenous soil microflora: bioaugmentation and self‐remediability for soil restoration
Vincenza Andreoni,Grazia Baggi,Mario P. Colombo,Lucia Cavalca,Maurizio Zangrossi,Silvana Bernasconi +5 more
TL;DR: Experiments conducted with soil microcosms gave evidence that the degradative process had a biotic nature and was accompanied by microbial growth and could be utilized for the adoption of appropriate remediation techniques for contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
The microbial degradation of phenylalkanes. 2-Phenylbutane, 3-phenylpentane, 3-phenyldodecane and 4-phenylheptane
TL;DR: Evidence for the formation of both a diol and a meta-cleavage compound was obtained from liquid cultures of both Pseudomonas strains utilizing 4-phenylheptane and Nocardia strains utilizing 3-phenyldodecane.
Journal ArticleDOI
3-chloro-, 2,3- and 3,5-dichlorobenzoate co-metabolism in a 2-chlorobenzoate-degrading consortium: role of 3,5-dichlorobenzoate as antagonist of 2-chlorobenzoate degradation. Metabolism and co-metabolism of chlorobenzoates.
TL;DR: An initial degradative attack by 2-chlorobenzoate induced dioxygenase(s) is suggested, allowing us to attribute the inhibitory effects observed to a substrate/co-substrate competition, though other additional causes may not be totally excluded.
