13. Adaptation to and biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds by microbial communities from a pristine aquifer.
The ability of subsurface microbial communities to adapt to the biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds was examined in aquifer solids samples from a pristine aquifer. An increase in the rates of mineralization of radiolabeled substrates with exposure was used as an indication of adaptation. For some compounds, such as chlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene

14. Characterization of three distinct extradiol dioxygenases involved in mineralization of dibenzofuran by Terrabacter sp. strain DPO360.
The dibenzofuran-degrading bacterial strain DPO360 represents a new species of the genus Terrabacter together with the previously described dibenzofuran-mineralizing bacterial strain DPO1361 (K.-H.

15. Ethylene Dibromide Mineralization in Soils under Aerobic Conditions
1,2-Dibromoethane (EDB), which is a groundwater contaminant in areas where it was once used as a soil fumigant, was shown to be degraded aerobically by microorganisms in two types of surface soils from an EDB-contaminated groundwater discharge area. At initial concentrations of 6 to 8 μg/liter, EDB was degraded in a few days to near or below the detection l

16. Isolation and Characterization of Anaerobic Ethylbenzene Dehydrogenase, a Novel Mo-Fe-S Enzyme
The first step in anaerobic ethylbenzene mineralization in denitrifying Azoarcus sp. strain EB1 is the oxidation of ethylbenzene to (S)-(−)-1-phenylethanol. Ethylbenzene dehydrogenase, which catalyzes this reaction, is a unique enzyme in that it mediates the stereoselective hydroxylation of an aromatic hydrocarbon in the absence of molecular oxygen. We pur

17. Reductive Dehalogenations of Halobenzoates by Anaerobic Lake Sediment Microorganisms †
Methane-producing freshwater lake sediment was found to dehalogenate chloro-, bromo-, and iodobenzoates by a reductive reaction in which the halogen was replaced by a hydrogen atom. The identity of the dehalogenated products was confirmed by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, or cochromatography. Removal of the halogens to produce benzoate was ne
