Hydrogenotrophic Driven Biodegradation of Organic Micropollutants Involving Hydrogen Oxidizing Bacteria Ghent University
The occurrence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) at trace concentrations in the aquatic environment has become a growing concern in recent years. Biodegradation is an attractive approach for OMPs removal. Since the low concentrations of OMPs limit the growth of degrading bacteria as the main energy source, resulting in diminishing degradation rates, periodically dosing of assimilable organic carbon (AOCs) is considered in previous studies. ...
Genetic adaptation of bacterial catabolic pathways for pesticide biodegradation: role of historical contingency. KU Leuven
The use of pesticides contaminates surface and groundwater. Biodegradation is crucial for the fate of pesticides in the environment both in natural attenuation processes in the field and in dedicated bioremediation technologies for mitigating contamination. New pesticides have to comply to stringent requirements regarding biodegradability. Genetic adaptation appears important in the acquisition of novel catabolic pathways for bacterial ...
