Aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are
very slowly degraded without molecular oxygen. Here, we review the recent advances in the …

The ecology of hydrocarbon degradation by microbial populations in the natural
environment is reviewed, emphasizing the physical, chemical, and biological factors that …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the products of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels,
are ubiquitous in nature. Some of these chemicals are of environmental concern because of …

Over the past 30 years, research on the microbial degradation of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) has resulted in the isolation of numerous genera of bacteria, fungi and …

Naturally occurring manganese (Mn (III/IV)) oxides are ubiquitous in a wide range of
environmental settings and play a key role in numerous biogeochemical cycles. In addition …

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a group of priority pollutants which are
present at high concentrations in the soils of many industrially contaminated sites. Criteria …

The biodegradation of low-and high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs)(LWM-PAHs and HMW-PAHs, respectively) has been studied extensively under …

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to
provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as …

The demand for petroleum and petroleum products is increasing day by day, while oil spills
and improper discharge of industrial wastes contributes to the rising contamination of the …

Aromatic hydrocarbons contaminate many environments worldwide, and their removal often
relies on microbial bioremediation. Whereas aerobic biodegradation has been well studied …
