Creator:: Ely, Roger L.
Abstract:: The methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzyme, used by methylotrophs to oxidize methane, has been shown to possess quite broad substrate specificity, being able to oxidize many organic compounds including n-alkanes, n-alkenes, ethers, and aromatic, alicyclic, and heterocyclic compounds. In this research, it was sought to determine whether a gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm...

Abstract:: A mix-culture of methanogenic and sulfate-reducing bacteria was capable of degrading trichloroethylene (TCE) to dichloroethylene (DCE). The culture was incubated under anaerobic conditions within a soil sample taken from Gilbert-Mosley site, Wichita, Kansas. To stimulate the growth of indigenous bacteria, a carbon and energy source was added in this microcosm...

Abstract:: Factor analysis of radiolarian species from the tops of 34 gravity cores in the area extending from 5°N to 45°N, 95°W to 155°W, yields five factor assemblages which are related to the present surface circulation: 1) a Pacific Equatorial Water assemblage; 2) a California Current assemblage; 3) a North Equatorial...

Creator:: Nicholson, David K.
Abstract:: Knowledge of a compound's degradation pathway is crucial to the assessment of risk at contaminated sites. Pentachlorophenol and its metabolic products can serve as model compounds to study the fate and transport of halogenated aromatic compounds in the environment. Acclimation of anaerobic sewage sludge to pentachlorophenol produced a microbial consortium...
