One of the challenges faced during the bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons is the limited bioavailability of these compounds due to their hydrophobic nature. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) known as ...

The dissolution and degradation of higher ring-number polycyclic aromatic compounds were tested in
batch and attached growth medium using soil biopile and fixed-film bioreactor systems. Bioavailability of
polycyclic ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are released into the environment through natural activities such as
forest fires and incomplete combustion of wood and decay of vegetable matter. Anthropogenic activities that
release ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to be resistant to environmental degradation due to their
hydrophobicity which results in low solubility in water. PAHs are therefore typically less bioavailable than ...

Cr(VI) is toxic to biological systems due to its strong oxidizing potential. However, some microorganisms
possess mechanisms that enable them to reduce the toxic of chromium [Cr(VI)] to the less toxic trivalent state
[Cr(III)] ...
