Methanogenic biodegradation of cyclohexane by microbial consortia from oil sands tailings
Cyclohexane biodegradation, fumarate addition, oil sands tailings, and methanogenic consortia.The goals of this study were to assess the biodegradability and possible degradation pathway of cyclohexane under methanogenic conditions, identify the fate of metabolites and by-products, and determine the presence and identity of microbes participating in this degradation.
