The Effect of Sustained Nitrate Exposure on Monnoaromatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradation Potential in Aquifer Material

这项规划补助金是与 少数民族研究启动计划，将提供支持 提出一项研究计划来检验假设， 硝酸盐不仅可以促进BTEX的原位生物降解， 通过增加电子受体的可用性， 还通过促进微生物生态的有利变化， 偶然地选择了一种微生物 能够在有氧或有氧条件下降解BTEX的种群 净化条件。

This planning grant, submitted in conjunction with the Minority Research Initiation Program, will provide support to develop a research proposal to test the hypothesis that nitrate could enhance in situ BTEX biodegradation not only by increasing the availability of electron acceptors, but also by fostering favorable changes in the microbial ecology of the aquifer and fortuitously selecting for a microbial population capable of degrading BTEX under either aerobic or denitrifying conditions.
