Rapid toluene mineralization by aquifer microorganisms at Adak, Alaska: implications for intrinsic bioremediation in cold environments
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether the rates of microbial hydrocarbon degradation in low-temperature groundwater systems are more depressed than degradation in more temperate aquifers. Microbial metabolism in sediments from two different aquifers in Adak, AK, showed low rates for aquifers in temerate systems, suggesting that the assumption is incorrect.
