Bacterial chemotaxis enhances naphthalene degradation in a heterogenous aqueous system
Article Abstract:
Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill conducted studies on the degradation rate of naphthalene by Peudomonas putida G7, which degrades naphthalene faster than other mutant strains.

Quantification of the soot-water distribution coefficient of PAHs provides mechanistic basis for enhanced sorption observations
Article Abstract:
This study investigates the soot-water distribution coefficients for a series of PAHs (naphthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, and pyrene) using diesel particulate matter as model soot sorbent. The study is broken down into an introduction, a discussion of the experiment and its results. Various charts and tables accompany the article.

Flouranthene-2,3- and -1,5-diones are novel products from the bacterial transformation of Flouranthene
Article Abstract:
Authors investigated soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and flouranthene. Authors have determined that bacteria break down flouranthene into quinones, of which flouranthene-2,3-dione decreases the probability that some PAHs will be broken down effectively.
