Signature metabolites attesting to the in situ attenuation of alkylbenzenes in anaerobic environments

Article Abstract:

Researchers at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, determined that the identification of signature microbial metabolites can be used to determine the anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons. Alkylated aromatic contaminants were converted to their corresponding benzylsuccinic acid derivatives, which were further biodegraded to toulates, phthalates, and benzoate.

Fate of linear alkylbenzenes released to the coastal environment near Boston Harbor

Article Abstract:

Hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in an urban harbor environment are studied, with vertical scavenging, flushing and biodegradation among the factors used for predicting concentrations and circulation patterns. Coastal fate of harbor-released HOCs can be predicted by this system within a factor of two.

Intrinsic bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons in a gas condensate-contaminated aquifer

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Oklahoma tested the hypothesis that intrinsic bioremediation occurs in a shallow gas condensate hydocarbon-contaminated groundwater using multiple lines of geochemical and biological evidence.
