Biodegradation of a diesel additive


Researchers at our laboratory conducted a biodegradability study of 2-EHN, a diesel additive. In this study, they isolated bacteria capable of degrading this synthetic compound whose effects on the environment and human health are unknown. Furthermore they have elucidated the steps of the degradation of 2-EHN and identified the involved enzymes.
