Abstract:

The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of aerobic biodegradation of petroleum aromatic compounds. Among the wide variety of petroleum aromatic compounds that occur, BTEX, PAHs, and HACs are the principal components of petroleum and their toxicities are relatively higher than other components, such as alkanes. This chapter will focus on degradation pathways and enzymes used by microorganisms capable of metabolizing BTEX, four representative PAHs, naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene, and pyrene and three HACs, carbazole, dibenzothiophene and dibenzofuran.
