  • Aerobic biotransformation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by a benzyl alcohol grown mixed culture : cometabolism, mechanisms, kinetics and modeling

    Creator:
    Tejasen, Sarun
    Abstract:
    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. The culture grew on carboxylic compounds and alcohols, but did not grow on formate, methanol, methane, propane, butane, ethylene, benzene, toluene, or...

  • Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Alumbaugh, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...
