The aerobic transformation of TCE and cis-DCE by a tetrabutoxysilane-grown
microorganism (Vancheeswaran et al., 1999) led to the investigation of novel
substrates, including benzyl alcohol, for promoting cometabolism. ...
Chlorinated phenols are toxic compounds and often released into natural
environments from improper disposal or non-point sources. One important factor in
assessing the environmental fate and transport is the rates of m ...
Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 and Graphium sp. were studied to
evaluate their ability to cometabolize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its
metabolites after growth on two different alkanes, propane and iso-pentane.
Both ...
Cometabolic biodegradation processes are potentially useful for the
bioremediation of hazardous waste sites. In this study the potential application of phenol-oxidizing
and nitrifying bacteria as "priming biocatalysts" ...
On August 31, 1992, Quality Printing Circuits, a circuit board manufacturing plant in
Phoenix, Arizona, burned to the ground. The fire lasted approximately eight hours, creating a thick,
black smoke that blew into the ...
The use of municipal refuse (RDF) as fuels has
received widespread attention for reason of its energy
equivalence and the increasing lack of available landfill
sites. The principal obstacle to the construction of comb ...
A theoretical argument is presented to suggest that engineering curriculum be
designed to develop social capital. Additionally, the value of social capital in the
retention of students in the College of Engineering, an ...
