fermentative bacteria from estuarine mud: phylogenetic position of acidaminobacter hydrogenoformans and description of a new type of gram-negative, propionigenic bacterium as propionibacter pelophilus gen. nov., sp. nov.	the phylogenetic positions of two strains of fermentative bacteria that had been isolated from the highest positive tubes inoculated with serial dilutions of estuarine mud in agar media with either glutamate or aspartate as substrate were determined by comparative sequence analysis of their 16s rrna genes. the strain isolated with glutamate (glu 65) utilized several substrates, including a number of amino acids but no sugars. the degradation of certain substrates was enhanced by or dependent upo ...	1999	10425761
reductive transformation of dieldrin under anaerobic sediment culture.	a pathway of dieldrin transformation to aldrin by epoxide reduction was found in this study. investigation of dieldrin degradation under anaerobic conditions was performed with a mixed culture containing indigenous microorganisms obtained from sediment of the er-jen river in taiwan. during the incubation, the transformation of dieldrin to aldrin was analyzed by gc-ecd and gc-ms. effects of incubation factors including dieldrin concentrations, incubation temperatures and kinds of carbon sources o ...	2005	16018887
removal of polychlorinated dioxins by semi-aerobic fed-batch composting with biostimulation of "dehalococcoides".	a semi-aerobic, mesophilic, fed-batch composting (fbc) reactor loaded with household garbage was used to remove polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (pcdd/fs). the reactor was packed with woodchips as the solid matrix and pcdd/f-contaminated soil or flyash and then operated at a waste-loading rate of 0.5 kg (wet wt) day(-1). all congeners of pcdd/fs (initial concentration, 200-830 pmol g(-1) [dry wt]) were totally reduced during the over period of operation, with a half reduction time ...	2010	20159573
