This project investigates the anaerobic degradation of phenanthrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by identifying the microorganisms and enzymes involved. It aims to enhance biodegradation methods for contaminated environments, focusing on the ecological mechanisms of pollutant removal.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely distributed contaminants that produce hazardous effects on human health.
They are persistent in the environment and recalcitrant to degradation, rendering the development of efficient PAH-removal methods a worldwide concern.
In PAH-contaminated aquifers or sediments, oxygen is depleted very rapidly, thus microorganisms able to use these compounds as a carbon source in the absence of molecular oxygen are crucial for their consumption.
