WOLFSON Dissertation Director Professor Lily Y. Young Anaerobic microbes are integral to the fate of organic contaminants in the environment. Polyaromatic pollutants are regularly found in anoxic environments, including wastewater treatment and subsurface sediments. In this dissertation, I combine microbial and chemical techniques to understand how microorganisms metabolize aromatic contaminants in anoxic marine sediment and anaerobic wastewater treatment. The first substrate described is naphthalene, the model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that established the field of anaerobic PAH degradation. Stable isotope probing of a new sulfidogenic naphthalene degrading culture revealed two organisms responsible for initial naphthalene degradation and a third probable initial naphthalene

OKA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Environmental Sciences Written under the direction of Professor Lily Young and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2009 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Anaerobic Benzene Degradation in Culture and Hydrocarbon Degradation in the Subsurface Environment By AMITA R. OKA Dissertation Director: Professor Lily Young Understanding of microorganisms and pathways involved in anaerobic benzene degradation is limited. Stable isotope probing of DNA was used to identify key members of a previously characterized, sulfate-reducing benzene degrading consortium. DNA 13 12 13 extracts of cultures incubated with [ C6]- or [ C6]benzene were separated into C- and 12C-labeled fractions by CsCl density gradient centrifugation. Sequencing and Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of the 16S rRNA gene identified TRF 270 (bp), a Desulfobacterium like phylotype, which was first to derive the bulk of the 13C label for DNA synthesis, and is thus likely involved in activation of benzene degradation. To understand the pathway of anaerobic benzene metabolism, degradation and inhibition tests were used. Based on these tests toluene was eliminated, and benzoate was identified as a possible intermediate. Metabolites detected in cultures amended with 13 13 [ C6]benzene or [ C6]phenol indicate that in this consortium there are 2 different pathways of benzoate formation, one forms universally labeled ([13C-UL]benzoate), and the other forms ring labeled benzoate.
