Biodegradation of phenol and cresol isomer mixtures by Arthrobacter
TLDR
The Arthrobacter species can degrade phenol, o-cresol and p-Cresol much faster than other microbes which are reported to degrade toxic compounds.Abstract:
The Arthrobacter species can degrade phenol, o-cresol and p-cresol much faster (as reflected in high specific growth rates) than other microbes which are reported to degrade toxic compounds In mixtures, phenol and p-cresol mutually inhibited each other; the inhibition constants show that phenol degradation is strongly inhibited in the presence of p-cresol rather than reverse o-Cresol enhanced phenol degradation marginally but o-cresol degradation was not affected by the presence of phenolread more

Inhibition of p-cresol on aerobic biodegradation of carbazole, and sodium salicylate by Pseudomonas putida.
Yue-Gen Yu,Kai-Chee Loh +1 more
TL;DR: A PAH- and phenol-degrading microorganism was used to study the substrate interactions during cell growth on carbazole-containing mixtures with p-cresol and sodium salicylate, and the addition of p- cresol was also found to inhibit the degradation of sodium salingylate.

Development of an anaerobic co-metabolic model for degradation of phenol, m-cresol and easily degradable substrate
TL;DR: In this article, two modified Monod-type kinetics, the mutual inhibition between phenol and m-cresol, the co-metabolism between refractory substrates and easily degradable substrates were developed to simulate existing experimental data.

Anaerobic biodegradation of phenol by Candida albicans PDY-07 in the presence of 4-chlorophenol
TL;DR: The models adequately described the dynamic behaviors of biodegradation by Candida albicans PDY-07 and the intrinsic kinetics of cell growth and substrate degradation were investigated with phenol and 4-cp as single and dual substrates in batch cultures.

Comprehensive composition of creosote using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS)
TL;DR: This work presents the first published full analysis of a Creosote using GCxGC-TOFMS combined with derivatization, which was capable of detecting 1505 individual compounds, which is far more than previous estimates for the number of compounds present withinCreosote.

Substrate interactions of benzene, toluene, and para-xylene during microbial degradation by pure cultures and mixed culture aquifer slurries.
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene was investigated in sandy aquifer material and by two pure cultures isolated from the same site.

Kinetics of competitive inhibition and cometabolism in the biodegradation of benzene, toluene, and p‐xylene by two Pseudomonas isolates.
TL;DR: Two Pseudomonas species were isolated from an aerobic pilot‐scale fluidized bed reactor treating groundwater containing benzene, toluene, and p‐xylene, and batch tests using paired substrates revealed competitive inhibition and cometabolic degradation patterns.

The Kinetics of Cometabolism
TL;DR: Three previously proposed models describing the kinetics of cometabolism by resting cells are compared, and the interrelationships and underlying assumptions for these models are explored.

Effects of co-occurring aromatic hydrocarbons on degradation of individual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in marine sediment slurries.
James E. Bauer,Douglas G. Capone +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that exposure of marine sediments to a particular PAH or benzene results in the enhanced ability of these Sediments to subsequently degrade that PAH as well as certain other PAHs.

Substrate interactions during aerobic biodegradation of benzene.
TL;DR: The experiments indicated that toluene- and o-xylene-degrading bacteria are also able to degrade benzene, whereas naphthalene-, 1,,4-dimethylnaphthalenes-, and phenanthrene-degarading bacteria have no or very little benzene-degRading ability.
