This dissertation describes several studies of anaerobic benzene degradation by microorganisms and fulfills four objectives. The first and second objectives were to characterize microbial populations in two benzene-degrading consortia (one methanogenic and one nitrate-reducing) on a physiological and molecular level. The shortest doubling times, 8 to 9 days, were observed in nitrate-reducing cultures. The highest substrate concentration utilized, 1000 muM, and maximum absolute rates of benzene degraded, 75 muM/day, were observed in methanogenic cultures. Five Bacterial 16S rRNA sequences, one of which resembled a clone previously found in a sulphate-reducing benzene-degrading culture, were identified in the methanogenic culture. Four Bacterial and no Archaeal 16S rRNA sequences were identified in the nitrate-reducing culture. One clone comprised 70% of the culture and was phylogenetically 93% similar to both Azoarcus and Dechloromonas species.

520 $a This dissertation describes several studies of anaerobic benzene degradation by microorganisms and fulfills four objectives. The first and second objectives were to characterize microbial populations in two benzene-degrading consortia (one methanogenic and one nitrate-reducing) on a physiological and molecular level. The shortest doubling times, 8 to 9 days, were observed in nitrate-reducing cultures. The highest substrate concentration utilized, 1000 muM, and maximum absolute rates of benzene degraded, 75 muM/day, were observed in methanogenic cultures. Five Bacterial 16S rRNA sequences, one of which resembled a clone previously found in a sulphate-reducing benzene-degrading culture, were identified in the methanogenic culture. Four Bacterial and no Archaeal 16S rRNA sequences were identified in the nitrate-reducing culture. One clone comprised 70% of the culture and was phylogenetically 93% similar to both Azoarcus and Dechloromonas species.
520 $a The third objective was to isolate and characterize pure cultures capable of anaerobic benzene biodegradation. Two co-cultures called Dechloromonas co-culture (DCC) and Azoarcus co-culture (ACC) were successfully isolated from a nitrate-reducing enrichment culture. DCC is &sim;99% Dechloromonas sp. and &sim;1% an unidentified eubacterium clone. ACC is &sim;98% Azoarcus sp. and &sim;2% Pseudomonas sp. Both co-cultures were capable of anaerobic benzene, toluene and benzoate degradation under nitrate-reducing conditions. The isolated Pseudomonas sp. was capable of aerobic benzene degradation and hydrogen utilization under nitrate-reducing conditions. The isolated unidentified eubacterium clone did not exhibit growth on any of the substrates tested. The Dechloromonas and Azoarcus organisms are responsible for anaerobic benzene degradation.
520 $a The fourth objective was to identify the key metabolic steps in the anaerobic benzene degradation pathways. 13C6-benzene experiments were conducted with the methanogenic and nitrate-reducing enrichments. Under methanogenic conditions a maximum of 8 muM 13C6-phenol and 3 muM 13C6-benzoate were detected. These results indicate that under methanogenic conditions a pathway where benzene undergoes hydroxylation to phenol and further transformation to benzoate exists. Under nitratereducing conditions a maximum of 90 nM 13C6-toluene, 120 nM 13C6-benzoate and no phenol were detected as intermediates of benzene degradation. This is the first evidence for a pathway where benzene undergoes methylation to toluene and further transformation to benzoate.
