This open access book synthesizes important advances in the assessment and management of soil and groundwater systems contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Chapter 10: Molecular Biological Tools Used in Assessment and Remediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soil and Groundwater is co-authored by Dora M. Taggart and Trent A. Key.
This white paper provides an overview of important types of biofuels, their production methods, and associated environmental concerns. CENSUS® qPCR and next generation sequencing can be used to monitor biofuel systems and assess the biodegradation of biofuels.
This brochure examines how MBTs can be leveraged to improve water quality and corrosion management programs. Results from QuantArray®-BGC, QuantArray®-Petro, and Microbial Source Tracking can inform water reuse practices in constructed wetlands and municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. Likewise, QuantArray®-MIC and next generation sequencing can provide important information for microbiologically influenced corrosion assessment.
This brochure explores how data from molecular biological tools can enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental responsibility of mining operations. CENSUS® qPCR, next generation sequencing, and assay development can be applied to three key areas: acid rock drainage, bioleaching and rare earth element (REE) recovery, and bioprospecting.
This product brochure provides an overview of CENSUS® qPCR assays related to the aerobic cometabolism of trichloroethene (TCE), dichloroethane (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC).
This product brochure provides an overview of CENSUS® qPCR assays related to the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).
This product brochure provides an overview of CENSUS® qPCR assays related to the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes (PCE, TCE, DCE, and vinyl chloride), including quantification of key bacteria (Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, Desulfuromonas, etc.) and functional genes (TCE reductase and two vinyl chloride reductase genes).
This brochure provides guidance on selecting appropriate molecular biological tools, including QuantArray®, CENSUS® qPCR, SIP, the abiotic panel, and in situ microcosms, based on the chlorinated compounds present and the chosen remedial approach.
This brochure provides guidance on selecting appropriate molecular biological tools, including QuantArray®, CENSUS® qPCR, SIP, and in situ microcosms, based on the petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants present and the chosen remedial approach.
This product brochure provides an overview of CENSUS® qPCR testing, which is a DNA-based method that can accurately quantify specific microorganisms (e.g. Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, anaerobic benzene carboxylase) responsible for biodegradation of contaminants.
