Modeling cometabolic transformation of a CAH mixture by a butane utilizing culture

Creator:

Mathias, Maureen Anne

Abstract:

The goal of this research was to mathematically simulate the ability of bioaugmented microorganisms to aerobically cometabolize a mixture of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) compounds during in-situ treatment. Parameter values measured from laboratory experiments were applied to the transport model with biotransformation processes included. In laboratory microcosm studies, a butane-grown,...

Aerobic degradation of chlorinated ethenes by Mycobacterium strain JS60 in the presence of organic acids

Creator:

Blatchford, Christina

Abstract:

This study evaluated the potential of the aerobic Mycobacterium strain JS6O to grow on a variety of organic acid substrates, and the possible effects an organic acid would have on the degradation rate of vinyl chloride (VC). A series of batch growth tests were designed to determine the time it...
