Review on the current status of polymer degradation: a microbial approach
Vinay Mohan Pathak,Navneet +1 more
TL;DR: The occurrence and distribution of microbes that are involved in the degradation of both natural and synthetic polymers are described and it seems that biological agents and their metabolic enzymes can be exploited as a potent tool for polymer degradation.

Poly(vinyl alcohol): review of its promising applications and insights into biodegradation
TL;DR: In this article, the use of bioremediation for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) release, which has caused serious pollution problems in the natural environment, has attracted much interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of different carbon sources on denitrification performance, microbial community structure and denitrification genes.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of three carbon sources, referred to as poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3 -hydroxyvalerate)/poly (lactic acid) (PHBV/PLA) polymer, glucose and CH3COONa, on denitrification performance, microbial community and functional genes were investigated.

Seawater-Degradable Polymers—Fighting the Marine Plastic Pollution
TL;DR: This review summarizes concepts, mechanisms, and other factors affecting the degradation process in seawater of several biodegradable polymers or polymer blends and is believed that this selection will help to further understand and drive the development of seawater‐degradablepolymers.

Degradation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by UV/chlorine oxidation: Radical roles, influencing factors, and degradation pathway.
TL;DR: Results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy showed that carbonyl groups in degradation products were formed during UV/chlorine oxidation, and a possible degradation pathway via alcohol tocarbonyl was proposed.

Profiling of complex microbial populations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genes coding for 16S rRNA
TL;DR: Analysis of the genomic DNA from a bacterial biofilm grown under aerobic conditions suggests that sulfate-reducing bacteria, despite their anaerobicity, were present in this environment.

Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics
Masatoshi Nei,Sudhir Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the molecular basis of evolution, the evolution of organisms based on the fossil record, and the implications of these events for phylogenetic inference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell biology and molecular basis of denitrification.
TL;DR: Denitrification is intimately related to fundamental cellular processes that include primary and secondary transport, protein translocation, cytochrome c biogenesis, anaerobic gene regulation, metalloprotein assembly, and the biosynthesis of the cofactors molybdopterin and heme D1.
