Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and long chain alkanes at 6070 °C by Thermus and Bacillus spp (2003, background): “The biodegradation of these pollutants at ambient temperature in biological treatment plants has become a widely used technology (Samanta et al. 2002).”
Bacterial Degradation of Aromatic Compounds (2009, background): “Phenanthrene contains bay- and K-regions able to form an epoxide, which is suspected to be an ultimate carcinogen [56, 60].”
Isolation and characterization of glycolipid biosurfactant produced by a Pseudomonas otitidis strain isolated from Chirimiri coal mines, India (2016, background): “PAHs are a group of the petroleum hydrocarbons known for their mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, endocrine-disrupting properties (Samanta et al. 2002; Liu et al. 2012; Xia et al. 2012).”
Bioremediation of soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum, pesticides, chlorophenols and heavy metals by composting: Applications, microbes and future research needs. (2015, background): “A large number of studies showed that many kinds of microbes had strong ability to degrade various organic pollutants and imposed excellent passivation effect on heavy metals (Samanta et al., 2002; Watanabe, 2001; Yu et al., 2011).”
A phenanthrene-degrading strain Sphingomonas sp. GY2B isolated from contaminated soils (2007, background): “Their widespread in the environment is of great concerns, since many of them have been shown to be toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic [2].”
Bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs): A Perspective (2016, neutral): “[14], reported that Phenanthrene is smallest PAH which has Bay and Kregion in its structure and hence it is considered as model substrate for studying the metabolism of carcinogenic PAHs.”
A review of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their human health effects. (2013, background): “Researchers reported increased incidences of skin, lung, bladder, liver, and stomach cancers as well as injection-site sarcomas in animals (Samanta et al., 2002).”
Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes for Water Purification (2017, background): “The solubility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons decreases with increase in molecular weight.(33,34) Heavy metal based non-degradable water pollutants are also responsible for serious ecological and health problems.”
Microbial and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Environments: A Review (2017, methodology): “In order to use GEMs for bioremediation, it is essential that the stability of the microbes be maintained before their field application as the catabolic activity of released GEM is linked primarily with the stability of the recombinant plasmid introduced into the organism [192,193].”
