Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by new isolates of white rot fungi.
TL;DR: Biodegradation of PAH by the various strains was highly correlated to the rate by which they decolorized Poly R-478 dye, demonstrating that ligninolytic indicators are useful in screening for promising PAH-degrading white rot fungal strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for ligninolytic fungi applicable to the biodegradation of xenobiotics
TL;DR: Woody tissues are composed mainly of three biopoly- mers: cellulose; hemicellulose; and lignin, a highly irregular aromatic polymer which serves to pro- vide strength and structure to the tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced biodegradation of aromatic pollutants in cocultures of anaerobic and aerobic bacterial consortia
TL;DR: Aside from mineralization, polyhydroxylated and chlorinated phenols as well as nitroaromatics and aromatic amines are susceptible to polymerization in aerobic environments and an alternative approach for bioremediation systems can be directed towards incorporating these aromatic pollutants into detoxified humic-like substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfide oxidation under chemolithoautotrophic denitrifying conditions

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate the potential of chemolithotrophic denitrification for the removal of hydrogen sulfide, as the sulfide/nitrate ratio can be used to control the fate of sulfide oxidation to either elemental sulfur or sulfate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Azo dye decolourisation by anaerobic granular sludge
TL;DR: The results indicate that granular sludge can decolourise a broad spectrum of azo dye structures due to non-specific extracellular reactions, and reducing agents in sludge play an important role.
