Extracellular polymeric substances enhanced mass transfer of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the two-liquid-phase system for biodegradation
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-05-01)
The objective was to elucidate the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in two-liquid-phase system (TLPs). Therefore, biodegradation of phenanthrene (PHE) ...
Improved biodegradation of 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Elsevier, 2011-08-01)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
Improved biodegradation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Pedosphere, 2011)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
Effects of autoclaving and mercuric chloride sterilization on PAHs dissipation in a two-liquid-phase soil slurry
(Elsevier, 2011-02-01)
A two-liquid-phase (TLP) soil slurry system was employed to quantify the efficiencies of autoclaving and mercuric chloride sterilization in the dissipation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The fates of 11 PAHs ...
Enhanced microbial degradation of humin-bound phenanthrene in a two-liquid-phase system
(Elsevier, 2011-02-28)
Humin, the main component of soil organic matter, greatly influences the nonlinear sorption and desorption hysteresis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil. However, little is known about the bioavailability ...
Chemical extraction to assess the bioavailability of chlorobenzenes in soil with different aging periods
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-12-01)
Bioavailability is mainly influenced by aging and desorption of contaminants in soil. The purpose of this study was to investigate the desorption kinetics of chlorobenzenes (CBs) in soil and to investigate whether chemical ...
Variation in indoor levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from burning various biomass types in the traditional grass-roofed households in Western Kenya
(Elsevier, 2011-07-31)
Biomass burning as fuel in the traditional grass-roofed rural households of Western
Province of Kenya in open fire places, in poorly ventilated conditions, lead to accumulation
of soot under the roofs. This study ...
