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 …

Aromatic compounds belong to one of the most widely distributed classes of organic
compounds in nature, and a significant number of xenobiotics belong to this family of …

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

Cupriavidus necator JMP134 is a model for chloroaromatics biodegradation, capable of
mineralizing 2, 4-D, halobenzoates, chlorophenols and nitrophenols, among other aromatic …

Plant benzoic acids (BAs) are critical regulators of a plant's interaction with its environment.
In addition, innumerable plant-derived pharmacological agents contain benzoyl moieties …

Background Different bacteria have been reported so far that link selenite resistance to the
production of metallic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). Although SeNPs have many …

In this study, we report transcription of genes involved in aerobic and anaerobic benzene
degradation pathways in a benzene-degrading denitrifying continuous culture. Transcripts …

The degradation of aromatic compounds follows different biochemical principles in aerobic
and anaerobic microorganisms. While aerobes dearomatize and cleave the aromatic ring by …

The enzymes involved in the initial steps of anaerobic benzene catabolism are not known.
To try to elucidate this critical step, a metatranscriptomic analysis was conducted to compare …

Biodegradation of anthropogenic pollutants in shallow aquifers is an important microbial
ecosystem service which is mainly brought about by indigenous anaerobic microorganisms …
