Halogenated aliphatic and aromatic aerobic biodegradation via direct metabolism and cometabolism: batch and continuous tests
… microbial metabolic degradation of halogenated compound has been investigated. Several studies showed that most of these pollutants can be biodegraded by single bacterial strains or mixed microbial population via aerobic direct metabolism or cometabolism using as a growth substrates aromatic or …

Investigating persistent organic pollutants as endocrine disruptors of androgen receptor signalling
… organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of organic compounds that are structurally resistant to processes of degradation and thus are ubiquitous in the environment upon release. Due to their long elimination half-lives and affinity for lipid-rich tissue, POPs have a tendency to bioaccumulate, and …
