Abstract

To develop a novel, versatile and integrated bioremediation process based on the special properties of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB), enhanced as appropriate by synergism with other organisms for biodegradation of associated specific recalcitrant organic molecules. To ascertain the range of aromatic compounds which can be degraded by natural populations of acidophilic bacteria (SRBs and aerobic heterotrophs). To characterise individual aromatic degrading strains and develop methods for enumerating them in bioreactors. (Joint with grants EBI06494, EBI06495, EBI06497 and EBI06498).
