Wide use of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as fuel oxygenates leads to worldwide
environment contamination with this compound basically due to fuel leaks from storage or …

The fate of fuel oxygenates such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in the subsurface is
governed by their degradability under various redox conditions. The key intermediate in …

In this study, a full-scale biosparging investigation was conducted at a petroleum-
hydrocarbon spill site. Field results reveal that natural attenuation was the main cause of the …

With the industrial development of the past hundred years, components and products from
petroleum and coal have increasingly entered the environment. Other chemicals are …

The ecological impacts of wildland fire‐suppression activities can be significant and may
surpass the impacts of the fire itself. A recent paradigm shift from fire control to fire …

Hydrocarbon contamination of water resources is a global issue. These compounds are
generated and discharged into the environment in industrial areas from chemical and …

Conclusive evidence of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) biotransformation and complete
mineralization under aerobic conditions in environmental samples and enrichment cultures …

Alkane-grown cells of Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 cometabolically degrade the gasoline
oxygenate methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) through the activities of an alkane-inducible …

Natural attenuation is a passive remedial approach that depends upon natural processes to
degrade and dissipate contaminants in soil and groundwater. Intrinsic bioremediation is …

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is one of the main additives in gasoline. Its degradation is
known to be difficult in natural environments. In this study, significant MTBE degradation is …
