Importance of the Sedimentary Matrix for Anaerobic Oil Degradation by Marine Bacterial Assemblages

Oct 01, 2007; Plante, Craig J ... ABSTRACT The microbial conversion of petroleum hydrocarbons is increasingly employed in bioremediation efforts. In marine sediments, oxygen levels are characteristically depleted, so anaerobic degradation coupled to sulfate reduction dominates. Prior studies have noted that anaerobic ...

Rice (Oryza sativa) as a Remediation Tool for Nutrient Runoff

Oct 01, 2007; Moore, M T; Cooper, C M; Kröger, R ... ABSTRACT Hypereutrophication of U.S. surface waters is one of the leading causes of impairment for water quality. With nutrient criteria development and total maximum daily load (TMDL) issues looming for regulators, agricultural research is focusing on practices aimed at decreasing ...

Genotoxicity Assessment of Wood-Preserving Waste-Contaminated Soil Undergoing Bioremediation

Oct 01, 2007; Gillespie, A M; Wang, S; McDonald, T; Garcia, S G; Cosgriff, D; He, L-Y; Huebner, H; Donnelly, K C ... ABSTRACT Bioremediation represents one of the most cost-effective technologies for treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated surface soils. A major concern for regulatory agencies when evaluating bioremediation is how to determine acceptable levels for residual organics in ...

Biosorption of Lead from Industrial Wastewater Using Chrysophyllum albidum Seed Shell

Oct 01, 2007; Amuda, Omotayo Sarafadeen; Ojo, Olumuyiwa Idowu; Edewor, Theresa Ibibia ... ABSTRACT The shell of the seed of Chrysophyllum albidum carbon was used to adsorb lead (Pb) from aqueous solution, the sorption process with respect to its equilibria and kinetics as well as the effects of pH, contact time, adsorbent mass, adsorbate concentration, and particle size on ...

Degradation of Tribromophenol by Wood-Decaying Fungi and the 1,2-Dihydroxybenzene-Assisted Fenton Reaction

Oct 01, 2007; Monrroy, Mariel; Baeza, Jaime; Freer, Juanita; Rodríguez, Jaime ... ABSTRACT The degradation of 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) by biological and chemical treatments was studied. Biological treatment involved the use of Laetoporeus sulfureus, Gloephyllum trabeum, and Ganoderma australe in liquid culture. Despite the inhibitory effects of TBP on the fungal ...
