Isolation and Selection of a Highly Tolerant Microbial Consortium with Potential for PAH Biodegradation from Heavy Crude Oil-Contaminated Soils (2014, background): “Although many PAH-degrading microorganisms have been identified, as well as the degradation mechanisms, enzymes, and genes implied in this process (Cerniglia and Sutherland 2010; Haritash and Kaushik 2009), there are only a few reports on microbial organotolerance, especially to extreme doses of…”
Prokaryotic Hydrocarbon Degraders (2010, background): “Nevertheless, many fungi are important contributors to hydrocarbon degradation in the biosphere, particularly of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, while consuming other substrates (Cerniglia and Sutherland, 2009).”
Current State of Knowledge in Microbial Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): A Review (2016, background): “Both types of peroxidases have the ability to oxidize PAHs (Hammel, 1995; Cerniglia and Sutherland, 2010).”
