Trichloroethylene biodegradation by a methane-oxidizing bacterium.
Trichloroethylene (TCE), a common groundwater contaminant, is a suspected carcinogen that is highly resistant to aerobic biodegradation. An aerobic, methane-oxidizing bacterium was isolated that… Expand

Microbial transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in pristine and petroleum-contaminated sediments.
To determine rates of microbial transformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in freshwater sediments, C-labeled PAH were incubated with samples from both pristine and… Expand

Enzymatic Characterization of Soluble Organic Phosphorus in Lake Water
Although the concentration of soluble organic phosphorus in lake water often exceeds that of orthophosphate severalfold, little is known of its composition. By using enzyme assays it was determined… Expand

Methanotrophic TCE Biodegradation in a Multi-Stage Bioreactor.
A two-stage bioreactor system was continuously fed a solution of TCE (concentrations ranging between 0.2 and 20 mg L{sup -1}) at 2 mL min{sup -1}; the system utilized a mutant (PP358) of the methane… Expand
