The process involves enzymatic reactions that initiate the breakdown of long-chain alkanes and aromatic compounds, facilitating their further degradation and eventual mineralisation.

Wang and his colleagues found NG80-2 produced large amounts of a protein called LadA, which performed the first step in the degradation of long-chain alkanes.

World class scientist professor Willy Verstraete will explain on Monday how he and his team are using bacteria to produce energy, degrade waste, clean water and kill viruses. Today we are faced ...

The introduction of ferric ammonium citrate in the subsurface will enhance the degradation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), such as perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene ...

A study conducted with filtered secondary effluents showed that chlorination does not reduce biochemical oxygen demand, render the soluble organics bioresistant, or cause significant carbon ...

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 ...
