Environmental Remediation - anaerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of organic (e.g., petroleum, chlorinated solvents) and inorganic contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, acidity, sodicity) in soils, ...
“That smell is sulfur, leaving the field as a gas.” When soil is flooded, the first microbes to activate are denitrifying bacteria. The microbes that convert sulfur to a gas become active later.
We are investigating the structure, function and mechanism of these novel systems, which appear to be widespread in many types of bacteria and archea, including pathogens, photosynthetic and ...
This model has a number of species each grouped into 5 major classes: Nitrogen fixing micro-organisms, Photosynthesizing plankton, Zooplankton, Decomposers and Denitrifying micro-organisms. Each ...
