Journal ArticleDOI
Methane formation from long-chain alkanes by anaerobic microorganisms.
TL;DR: En enrichment cultures are used to show that the biological conversion of long-chain alkanes to the simplest hydrocarbon, methane, is possible under strictly anoxic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope fractionation analysis as a tool to monitor biodegradation in contaminated acquifers.
TL;DR: Under what circumstances SIFA can be used for a qualitative or even a quantitative assessment of biodegradation in the environment is discussed, and advances in the instrumental development for stable isotope analysis are mentioned if it is important for the understanding of the application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring and assessing processes of organic chemicals removal in constructed wetlands
TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent progress made towards understanding how the various mechanisms attributed to organic chemicals removal interact to form a functioning wetland and discusses the main degradation pathways for different groups of contaminants.

TL;DR: Investigations funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft on the anaerobic microbial degradation of hydrocarbons ranged from isolation and enrichment of hitherto unknown hydrocarbon-degrading anaerobe microorganisms, discovery of novel reactions, detailed studies of enzyme mechanisms and structures to process-oriented in situ studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular signals for anaerobic methane oxidation in Black Sea seep carbonates and a microbial mat
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the presence and metabolic activity of distinctive methane-related biota in the cold seep carbonates and an associated microbial mat and found that the arboricity of these organisms indicates a pronounced role of particular Archaea in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon at methane seeps.
