In general, PAHs are relatively stable and recalcitrant in soils and less easy to degrade than many other organic compounds. High-molecular-weight PAHs are paid particular attention as they are recalcitrant. Some of these PAHs are considered to be possible or probable human carcinogens, and hence their distributions in the environment and possible exposure to humans have been of concerns. The US EPA has identified 16 PAHs as priority pollutants. As a result, PAHs differ in their transport, distribution and fate in the environment and their effects on biological systems. Chemical reactivity, aqueous solubility and volatility of PAHs decrease with increasing molecular weight. Physical and chemical properties of PAHs vary with the number of rings and hence their molecular weight. PAHs are a group of chemicals that contain two or more fused aromatic rings in linear, angular, or cluster arrangements. There are three major categories: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heterocyclics, and substituted aromatics. Different aromatic compounds co-exist as complex mixtures in petroleum refinery and distillation sites. Metabolomics and proteomics in elucidation of mechanisms of microbial degradation of aromatics are also briefly discussed.Īromatic compounds can be defined as organic molecules containing one or more aromatic rings, specifically benzene rings, for example. The selected aromatic pollutants include the PAHs naphthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and benzopyrene, the heterocycles dibenzofuran, carbazole, dibenzothiophene, and dibenzodioxin, and alkylated PAHs.

This review is focused on bacterial catabolic pathways of selected aromatic pollutants under aerobic culture conditions ( Table 1). It has been well reviewed, however, it is a very active field and new data are rapidly contributed to the literature. Research has been conducted to understand bioremediation for environmental pollutants such as aromatic compounds that are among the most prevalent and persistent environmental pollutants.īiodegradation is a very broad field and involves uses of a wide range of microorganisms to break chemical bonds. Therefore, understanding catabolic pathways and mechanisms and responsible enzymes is an effective means to define important factors for efficient cleanup of pollutants. Many factors influence microorganisms to use pollutants as substrates or cometabolize them. A feasible remedial technology requires microorganisms being capable of quick adaptation to and efficient uses of pollutants of interest in a particular case in a reasonable period of time. A goal of bioremediation is to transform organic pollutants into harmless metabolites or mineralize the pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. Bioremediation utilizes the metabolic versatility of microorganisms to degrade hazardous pollutants. It has long known that microorganisms degrade environmental pollutants in various matrices and environments. Other restrictions apply.Biodegradation is a viable bioremediation technology for organic pollutants. Not all rebates are compatible with manufacturer's special APR programs.
