This so-called anaerobic oxidation of alkanes is an important yet poorly understood microbial process. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and the Marum Center for Marine ...

Chinese scientists have cracked biological codes of a heat-tolerant bacterial strain that feeds on crude oil which holds the promise of applications such as the clean-up of oil contamination.

On 11 October 2010, Professor Willy Verstraete will present the third Environmental Microbiology Lecture: "Microbial Resource Management (MRM): the way forward for environmental biotechnology" ...

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has repeatedly listed chlorinated solvents and their degradation products as the most frequently detected group of priority contaminants.

Chlorinated solvents are the most commonly detected and persistent contaminants in the underground environment. At contaminated sites, it is difficult to quantify the efficacy of abiotic ...
