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.About:

An effort to understand and improve the anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons: A literature review
TL;DR: In order to better mitigate the contaminated sites, biostimulation and bioaugmentation are discussed for accelerated and effective removal of petroleum oil or specific constituents.

Response of humic acid formation to elevated nitrate during chicken manure composting.
TL;DR: Structural equation model reveals that elevated nitrate reduces HA formation by mediating microbes directly, or by affecting ammonia and pH as the indirect drivers to regulate microbial community structure.

Tenax extraction for exploring rate-limiting factors in methyl-β-cyclodextrin enhanced anaerobic biodegradation of PAHs under denitrifying conditions in a red paddy soil.

TL;DR: It appears rate-limiting factors vary with microcosms: low activity of degrading microorganisms is the vital rate- Limiting factor for control and MCD addition treatments (CK and M treatments); and lack of bioaccessible PAHs is the main rate-limit for nitrate addition treatment treatments (N and MN treatments).

The dissipation and risk alleviation mechanism of PAHs and nitrogen in constructed wetlands: The role of submerged macrophytes and their biofilms-leaves.
Zhirui Qin,Zhenhua Zhao,Zhenhua Zhao,Liling Xia,Abduelrahman Adam,Yong Li,Deqiang Chen,Sara Margaret Mela,Hui Li +8 more
TL;DR: Sub submerged macrophytes and their biofilms on leaves not only played an important role in PAHs degradation, but also regulated the nitrogen cycling in constructed wetland systems, which could reduce these pollutants risk for natural environment, organisms and human health.

Microbial degradation of hydrocarbons in the environment.
J G Leahy,Rita R. Colwell +1 more
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by bacteria.
TL;DR: Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is prompted by their ubiquitous distribution and their potentially deleterious effects on human health.
