Transformation of Phenanthrene by Mycobacterium sp. ELW1 and the Formation of Toxic Metabolites

Creator:: Schrlau, Jill E.
Abstract:: The ability of Mycobacterium sp. ELW1, a novel microbe capable of alkene oxidation, to co-metabolize phenanthrene (PHE) was studied. ELW1 was able to completely co-metabolize PHE, at different concentrations below its water solubility limit, in an aqueous environment. The alkene monooxygenases in ELW1, used to initiate oxidation of PHE, were...

The Vadose Zone as a Hyporheic Carbon Source : A Look at Temporal Trends in Hyporheic Zone pCO₂

Creator:: Brandes, Jason B.
Abstract:: Stream chemistry studies conducted in the forested Watershed 1 of the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest show a contribution of CO2 from the hyporheic zone. Hyporheic CO₂ concentrations, measured as pCO₂, have a seasonal trend as well as a responsiveness to storm events. Concentrations are highest at the end of the...

Development and applications of a high-throughput activity assay, using the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Bartow, Shannon M.
Abstract:: The rising demand on freshwater resources emphasizes the benefit of biogeochemical processes that maintain clean water by removing pollutants such as excess nitrogen. The most sensitive step in the removal of nitrogen from waterways is the oxidation of ammonia, a part of nitrification, which is carried out by ammonia oxidizing...

Aerobic Cometabolism of cis-Dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, and 1,4-Dioxane by Polyvinyl Alcohol/Sodium Alginate Hydrogel Beads that Co-Entrapped Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC 21198 and Slow-Release Growth Substrates: Column Studies

Creator:: Bailey, Kestrel
Abstract:: CisCis-Dichloroethylene (ciscis-DCE), 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA), and 1,4-Dioxane (1,4-D) are chlorinated solvents used as solvents and degreasers in industrial cleaning agents that have become common groundwater contaminants. To develop an effective treatment method for these compounds, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel beads were co-entrappcapsulated with Rhodococcus rhodochrous Strain ATCC...

Evaluation in a Physical Aquifer Model the Long-Term Performance of a Permeable Reactive Bio-Barrier Packed with Co-encapsulated Gellan Gum Beads for the Bioremediation of Chlorinated Compounds and Co-Contaminants

Creator:: Wortkoetter, Jacob
Abstract:: Chlorinated solvents are a class of widespread groundwater contaminants that are toxic, carcinogenic, and difficult to remediate at low concentrations. 1,4-dioxane, a suspected carcinogen, is often a co-contaminant found in mixtures of chlorinated solvent plumes. In-situ bioremediation methods of degrading these chemicals through aerobic cometabolism have shown promise. Permeable Reactive...

Anaerobic Dehalogenation of Trichloroethene by Encapsulated Dehalococcoides mccartyi

Creator:: Lukens, Eileen P.
Abstract:: Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) like trichloroethene (TCE) were mostly used to replace drying cleaning fluids which contained hydrocarbons like benzene, and were highly flammable. Through improper disposal, storage, and spills, TCE and its downstream products, like cis-dichloroethene (cDCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), leached into groundwater and threaten human and environmental...

Inhibition of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria by Carbon Tetrachloride and Chloroform

Creator:: Ehret, Emma L.
Abstract:: Despite decades of cleanup efforts, chlorinated solvents are some of the most common groundwater and subsurface contaminants of the industrialized world. These compounds include chlorinated ethenes (CEs) such as trichloroethene (TCE) and chlorinated methanes (CMs) such as carbon tetrachloride (CT). Dehalococcoides mccartyi belongs to a class of microorganisms called organohalide-respiring...

Experimental demonstration and modeling of aerobic cometabolism of 1,4-dioxane by isobutane-utilizing microorganisms in aquifer microcosms

Creator:: Rolston, Hannah M.
Abstract:: 1,4-dioxane, a probable human carcinogen at low (< 1ppb) concentrations, has emerged as a groundwater contaminant due to its historical use as a stabilizer for the chlorinated solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Aerobic cometabolism, the use of a primary substrate to induce the production of microbial enzymes that fortuitously degrade other compounds, is...

Aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants : investigations of detection methods, bioremediation strategies, and toxicity impacts

Creator:: Huizenga, Juliana M.
Abstract:: Aromatic hydrocarbons represent a large class of environmental contaminants that have a broad range of structures, physicochemical properties, and toxicities. Arising from the burning of organic matter, particularly fossil fuels, they are both widespread and abundant in all environmental compartments. Both monoaromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are...

Effects of silver ions and nanoparticles on suspended cells and biofilms of Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:: Barker, Leila Kelly
Abstract:: Silver nanoparticles are increasingly being incorporated into consumer products due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. The resulting influx of silver nanoparticles into wastewater may pose a threat to bacteria involved in biological wastewater treatment. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrite in the first step of nitrification, are highly sensitive...
