Biodegradation of a Sulfur-Containing PAH, Dibenzothiophene, by a Mixed Bacterial Community
(2009)Dibenzothiophene (DBT) is a constituent of creosote and petroleum waste contamination, it is a model compound for more complex thiophenes, and its degradation by mixed microbial communities has received little attention. ... -
Mitochondria as a Target of Benzo[a]pyrene Toxicity in a PAH-adapted and Naive Population of the Atlantic Killifish (Fundulus Heteroclitus)
(2009)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important contaminants that are found in increasing amounts in aquatic ecosystems. One of the sites that that is contaminated by extremely high levels of PAHs is the Atlantic Wood ... -
Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Adaptation to PAHs in Fundulus heteroclitus
(2010)Chronic exposure to toxicant mixtures is a serious threat to environmental and human health. It is especially important to understand the effects of these exposures for contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Persistent Effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure Across Generations: a Bioenergetic and Mitochondrial Perspective
(2018)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. PAHs are toxicologically important for both humans and wildlife in large part due to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, ...
