Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons degradation by marine-derived basidiomycetes: optimization of the degradation process

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) are high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) recalcitrant to microbial attack. Although studies related to the microbial degradation of PAHs have been carried out in the last decades, little is known about degradation of these environmental po...

Degradation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons by two strains of Pseudomonas

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT The goal of this investigation was to isolate competent polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons degraders that can utilize polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons of former industrial sites at McDoel Switchyard in Bloomington, Indiana. Using conventional enrichment method based on soil slurry, we isolated, ...
