Substrate Interaction during Aerobic Biodegradation of Creosote-Related Compounds: A Factorial Batch Experiment.
D. Millette,James F. Barker,Yves Comeau,Barbara J. Butler,Emil O. Frind,Bernard Clément,Réjean Samson +6 more
TL;DR: The interactions among seven creosote-related compounds during their aerobic biodegradation in groundwater were studied in factorial experiments and it was found that the more hydrophobic and recalcitrant compounds were more affected by substrate interaction.

Transport of gellan gum microbeads through sand: an experimental evaluation for encapsulated cell bioaugmentation.
TL;DR: The wider dispersion of microbeads across the length of column A, compared to those observed in columns B and C, suggests a higher potential for the formation of a uniform bioactive zone of encapsulated cells across a sandy aquifer with such grain size distribution and hydrodynamic properties.

Detoxification of fluorene, phenanthrene, carbazole and p-cresol in columns of aquifer sand as studied by the Microtox® assay
TL;DR: In this paper, the changing in the toxicity of mixtures of creosote-related compounds during their aerobic biodegradation was studied in columns of saturated aquifer material using Microtox® assay.

Catabolic Gene Probe Analysis of an Aquifer Microbial Community Degrading Creosote-Related Polycyclic Aromatic and Heterocyclic Compounds
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ndoB gene probe can detect bacteria capable of utilizing phenanthrene, carbazole, and possibly fluorene, which are involved in the degradation of monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic compounds.

Ethanol‐Stimulated Bioremediation of Nitrate‐Contaminated Ground Water
TL;DR: In this paper, a field denitrification pilot test using a setup of vertical withdrawal and injection wells was carried out, where ethanol was used as a carbon source to stimulate the growth and activity of indigenous denitrifying bacterial populations.
