The biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons by bacteria

Mark R. Smith
- 01 Jan 1990 - 
TL;DR: The biodegradation of benzene, certain arenes, biphenyl and selected fused aromatic hydrocarbons, by single bacterial isolates, are dealt with in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerobic degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls

TL;DR: A broad set of bacterial strategies to degrade chlorobenzoates has recently been elucidated, including new pathways for the degradation of chlorocatechols as central intermediates of various chloroaromatic catabolic pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls by two species of Achromobacter.

TL;DR: Benzoic and p-chlorobenzoic acids were produced from the degradation of BP and p CB, respectively, by Achromobacter pCB, indicating divergent degradation pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradation of aromatic compounds: current status and opportunities for biomolecular approaches

TL;DR: A review of the current status of aromatics biodegradation can be found in this paper, where the authors briefly discuss the catabolic mechanisms and describe the current state of the bio-films and their applications in biodegradable aromatic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation of biphenyl by a Beijerinckia species.

TL;DR: A mutant strain of Beijerinckia B8/36 oxidizes biphenyl to cis -2, 3-dihydroxy-1-phenylcyclohexa-4, 6-diene, and the physical properties of both metabolites are described.
