An annotated selection of World Wide Web sites relevant to the topics in Environmental Microbiology Biodegradability of biodiesel http://www.uidaho.edu/bioenergy/BiodieselEd/publication/ 04.pdf This web page describes the results of a study comparing the biodegradability of biodiesel and conventional petro- leum diesel fuels. Biodegradation of jet fuels http://www.p2pays.org/ref/15/14755.pdf This web page discusses the impact of plants on the biodegradation of jet fuel, and the effects of jet fuels on plant growth. Leaking underground storage tanks http://www.epa.gov/ORD/lrp/quicknder/underground- storagetanks.htm There are over 450,000 leaks from underground fuel storage tanks annually. Microorganisms are principally responsible for the dissipation of the fuel hydrocarbons over time. Oil spill cleanup http://www.epa.gov/ORD/lrp/quicknder/oilspill-cleanup. htm About 10-25 million gallons of oil are spilled annually. This Environmental Protection Agency website seeks to provide information relevant to oil cleanup. Bibliography for the fuel oxygenate MTBE http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/284493.html This web page contains an extensive list of linked references relevant to methyl-t-butyl ether (MBTE), a major fuel additive that has become an environmental problem. Petroleum biodegradation http://www.geoforschungszentrum.de/pb4/pg3/projects/ Biodegradation_of_petroleum/content_en.html This web page provides an excellent primer on microbial biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. BTEX issues http://www.eugris.info/FurtherDescription.asp?e=6& Ca=2&Cy=0&T=Benzene,%20toluene,%20ethylbenzene, %20and%20xylene This web page provides data on the BTEX compounds in petroleum: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes. BTEX metabolism metapathway map http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/BTEX/BTEX_map.html This web page provides an overview of the aerobic and anaerobic microbial metabolic pathways that operate in the biodegradation of BTEX compounds found in fossil fuels. Biodegradation of alkylated dibenzothiophenes http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jbb/101/4/101_322/ _article This web article describes the microbial degradation of alkyl-substituted dibenzothiophenes, which are common components in petroleum. Dibenzothiophene desulfurization pathway http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/dbt/dbt_map.html This web page illustrates how microbes catalytically remove the sulfur atom from dibenzothiophenes. There has been interest in commercializing this process to remove sulfur from fossil fuels. Environmental Microbiology (2008) 10(5), 13801381 doi:10.1111/j.1462-2920.2008.01629.x 2008 The Author Journal compilation 2008 Society for Applied Microbiology and Blackwell Publishing Ltd MTBE pathway map http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/mtb/mtb_map.html The MTBE metabolic map contains information on the mechanisms by which the fuel oxygenate, methyl-t-butyl ether (MTBE), is biodegraded. Isooctane pathway map http://umbbd.msi.umn.edu/iso/iso_map.html Isooctane is considered the gold standard of fuels for spark ignition engines. This branched hydrocarbon is bio- degraded by microorganisms when it is spilled into the environment. The reactions, enzymes and organisms are described in pages linked from the pathway map.
