Anaerobic degradation of naphthalene by the mixed bacteria under nitrate reducing conditions.

TLDR
The results showed that the mixed bacteria could degrade nearly all the naphthalene over the incubations of 25 days when the initial naphthaene concentration was below 30 mg/L, and the degradation rates of nphthalene increased with increasing initial concentrations.

Anaerobic biodegradation of benzo(a)pyrene by a novel Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2 isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil.

TL;DR: Cellulosimicrobium cellulans CWS2, a novel strain capable of utilizing benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as the sole carbon and energy source under nitrate-reducing conditions, was isolated from PAH-contaminated soil and exhibited strong BaP degradation capability and has great potential in the remediation of BaP-/PAH- Contaminated environments.

Elucidating the negative effect of denitrification on aromatic humic substance formation during sludge aerobic fermentation

TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing revealed that enhanced denitrification effectively stimulated the metabolism of denitrifying microorganisms with aromatic-degrading capability, and co-occurring network analysis indicated that some keystone taxa of denitized microorganisms involved in the conversion of nitrate to nitrite were the most crucial for enhancingDenitrification and reducing aromatic HS formation.

Identification of naphthalene metabolism by white rot fungus Pleurotus eryngii.

TL;DR: Reduction of naphthalene and the presence of metabolites in liquid medium showed the ability of Pleurotus eryngii to utilize naphthaquinone, a two-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as carbon source instead of a limited glucose amount.

Anaerobic Biodegradation of Pyrene by Paracoccus denitrificans Under Various Nitrate/Nitrite-Reducing Conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of denitrifying conditions on pyrene degradation in a pure culture was investigated, with a strain isolated from petrol-contaminated river sediment, treatments of pyrene biodegradations were set up using various ratios of nitrate to nitrite.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of dissimilatory nitrate reduction pathways in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that naphthalene and fluoranthene degradation may be coupled with denitrification and DNRA metabolism, which will be crucial for directing remediation strategies of PAH-contaminated anoxic sediments.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.

TL;DR: Rates of biodegradation depend greatly on the composition, state, and concentration of the oil or hydrocarbons, with dispersion and emulsification enhancing rates in aquatic systems and absorption by soil particulates being the key feature of terrestrial ecosystems.
