Biodegradation is one of the most favored and sustainable means of removing organic
pollutants from contaminated aquifers but the major steering factors are still surprisingly …

Landfills are the primary option for waste disposal all over the world. Most of the landfill sites
across the world are old and are not engineered to prevent contamination of the underlying …

Groundwater reservoirs continue to be threatened globally, mainly from anthropogenic
activities. There is need to understand how remediation of groundwater can be influenced …

Anaerobic methane oxidation coupled to denitrification was recently assigned to bacteria
belonging to the uncultured phylum NC10. In this study, we incubated sediment from a …

Elevated concentrations of sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl−) in surface and ground water are
common in the United States and other countries, and can serve as indicators of, or may …

The importance of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) as a methane sink in freshwater
systems is largely unexplored, particularly in peat ecosystems. Nitrite-dependent anaerobic …

This textbook provides an overview of transport and fate processes of environmental
contamination, in such a way that the reader can both understand and predict contaminant …

Some nitrate-and Fe (III)-reducing microorganisms are capable of oxidizing Fe (II) with
nitrate as the electron acceptor. This enzymatic pathway may facilitate the development of …

Microbial metabolism in landfill leachate systems is critically important in driving the
degradation reactions of organic pollutants, including the emerging pollutant bisphenol A …

Published pmoA primers do not match the pmoA sequence of “Candidatus Methylomirabilis
oxyfera,” a bacterium that performs nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation …
