Abstract:
A study has been performed on two Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophic (PPFM) bacteria isolated from activated sludge previously exposed to Hexamethylenetetramine (Hexa), Colquhoun and Smith (1988) and Colquhoun (1988). There are four possible pathways found in methylotrophs which can be used to break down formaldehyde, one of the two constituents of Hexa (Zatman 1980). These pathways are: (i) Ribulose monophosphate pathway (RuMP); (ii) Xylulose monophosphate pathway (XuMP); (iii) Ribulosebiphosphate carboxylase pathway (RuBPC) and (iv) Serine pathway. However, before any of these pathway

The kinetics of biodegradation was monitored by using in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The incubation medium was directly analyzed by1H NMR.

The latter compound, which was not commercially available, was synthesized, in three steps, from 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol. Quantitative analysis of the kin

ABSTRACT Compound-specific isotope analysis has the potential to distinguish physical from biological attenuation processes in the subsurface. In this study, carbon and hydrogen isotopic fractionation effects during biodegradation of benzene under anaerobic conditions with different terminal-electron-accepting processes are reported for the first time. Different enrichment factors (ε) for carbon (range of −1.9 to −3.6‰) and hydrogen (range of −29 to −79‰) fractionation were observed during biodegradation of benzene under nitrate-reducing, sulfate-reducing, and methanogenic conditions.

Most microbial activity in nature takes place at interfaces where redox discontinuities are present. Organic pollutants in groundwater encounter oxic/anoxic interfaces when they emerge to surface water bodies or volatilize above the plume. Such oxic/anoxic interfaces are key habitats for aerobic bacteria and are in turn created by the bacteria that degrade organic electron donors. In the absence of biodegradation, synthetic pollutants can migrate from the plume and impact a variety of receptors.

From a regulatory point of view, the capability to simulate the kinetics of these reductive transformation reactions coupled with other attenuation processes in the subsurface (e.g., sorption, advection, and dispersion) is required for site-specific solute transport models.

AbstractPetroleum vapor intrusion (PVI) is the process by which volatile petroleum hydrocarbons released from contaminated geological materials or groundwater migrate through the vadose zone into overlying buildings. PVI science showed that petroleum hydrocarbons are subjected to natural attenuation processes in the source zone and during the vapor transport through the vadose zone. Specifically, in the presence of oxygen, aerobic biodegradation typically reduces or eliminates the potential for PVI. This behavior justifies the different approach usually adopted for addressing PVI compared to l
