Physiological consequences of trichloroethylene degradation by the toluene-oxidizing bacterium Burkholderia cepacia G4

Creator:

Yeager, Chris M.

Abstract:

A number of bacterial species are capable of degrading the widespread environmental pollutant trichloroethylene (TCE) via aerobic cometabolism, but cytotoxic effects that can debilitate the microorganism often accompany this transformation. In this dissertation the effects of TCE degradation on the well-studied, toluene-oxidizing bacterium Burkholderia cepacia G4 were investigated at the...
