soehngenia saccharolytica gen. nov., sp. nov. and clostridium amygdalinum sp. nov., two novel anaerobic, benzaldehyde-converting bacteria.	two anaerobic, benzaldehyde-converting bacteria were isolated from an anaerobic upflow anaerobic sludge bed (uasb)-reactor treating potato starch waste water. strain bor-y(t) converted benzaldehyde to benzoate and benzylalcohol in approximately equimolar concentrations. benzaldehyde conversion did not support growth. strain bor-y(t) was gram-positive and rod-shaped, and its cells were slightly thickened in the middle. the strain was a mesophilic spore-former that grew between 15 and 40 degrees c ...	2003	14657106
microbial dynamics in anaerobic enrichment cultures degrading di-n-butyl phthalic acid ester.	although anaerobic biodegradation of di-n-butyl phthalic acid ester (dbp) has been studied over the past decade, only little is known about the microorganisms involved in the biological anaerobic degradation pathways. the aim of this work is to characterize the microbial community dynamics in enrichment cultures degrading phthalic acid esters under methanogenic conditions. a selection pressure was applied by adding dbp at 10 and 200 mg l(-1) in semi-continuous anaerobic reactors. the microbial d ...	2008	18754780
