Although strictly anaerobic conditions prevail in several environmental compartments, up to
now, biodegradation studies with emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), such as …

Petroleum hydrocarbons represent the most frequent environmental contaminant. The
introduction of petroleum hydrocarbons into a pristine environment immediately changes 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 …

Monoaromatic pollutants such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and mixture of xylenes
are now considered as widespread contaminants of groundwater. In situ bioremediation …

Dyes are the most challenging pollutants for the aquatic environment that are not only toxic,
but also interfering photosynthesis as light penetration into deep water is changed. A …

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

Petroleum is a very complex and diverse organic mixture. Its composition depends on
reservoir location and in situ conditions and changes once crude oil is spilled into the …

Pollution of the environment with aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylene (so-called BTEX) is often observed. The cleanup of these toxic …

Over the last two decades significant advances have been made in our understanding of the
anaerobic biodegradability of monoaromatic hydrocarbons. It is now known that compounds …

Profound biogeochemical responses of anoxic sediments to the fluctuation of dissolved
oxygen (DO) concentration in overlaying water are often observed, despite oxygen having a …
