The degradation of acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 2-methylindene, 3-methylindene and indene in water solutions was studied. These compounds at the 25-150 mug/l. level were almost totally degraded at ambient temperature within three days. The microbial population responsible for the degradation occurs

A purified microbial isolate, identified as a strain of Rhodococcus sp., metabolized indene primarily to iso quinoline and lesser amounts of indandiol and indanone. Isoquinoline production was dependent on the presence of microbial culture, indene, and ammonium ions as the

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent key molecular building blocks leading to carbonaceous nanoparticles identified in combustion systems and extraterrestrial environments. However, the understanding of their formation and growth in these high temperature environments has remained elusive. We present a mechanism
