The removal of hydrophobic pollutants in biofilters is often limited by gas liquid mass transfer
to the biotic aqueous phase where biodegradation occurs. It has been proposed that the use …

Biofiltration of hydrophobic volatile pollutants is intrinsically limited by poor transfer of the
pollutants from the gaseous to the liquid biotic phase, where biodegradation occurs. This …

The use of an organic solvent can allow to increase the mass transfer, and thereby
biodegradation, of hydrophobic gaseous pollutants. The biodegradation of hexane by a …

The release of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) to the environment, mainly from damaged
gasoline underground storage tanks or distribution systems spills, has provoked extended …

In the present study, the feasibility of aerobic cometabolism biodegradation of MTBE was
investigated by the microbial consortium obtained municipal wastewater treatment plant in …

Most gasoline contains high percentages of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as an additive.
The physico-chemical properties of this substance (high water solubility, low sorption in soil) …

The influence of zinc, manganese, and nickel on the degradation of MTBE (methyl tert-butyl
ether), by an aerobic MTBE-degrading strain, Ochrobactrum cytisi, were investigated. The …

Biodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by cometabolism has shown to produce
recalcitrant metabolic intermediates that often accumulate. In this work, a consortium …

Co-metabolic bioremediation is a promising approach for the elimination of methyl tert-butyl
ether (MTBE), which is a common pollutant found worldwide in ground water. In this paper, a …

The response of Pseudomonas putida F1 to process fluctuations and operational failures
during toluene biodegradation was evaluated in a chemostat suspended growth bioreactor …
