Biodegradation Related Information

  • The Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database at the University of Minnesota. Offering a comprehensive introduction to the subject and details of a number of biodegradative pathways and offers an Internet course on microbial biocatalysis and biodegradation, including a first free lesson on Microbial Environmental Biochemistry
  • Predict-BT:  Annotated predicted biodegradation pathways and rules for making predictions on pathways of biodegradation from University of Minnesota.
  • US Geological Survey (USGS): Biodegradation   Examples of contaminated sites in which USGS were involved in remediation plus general information on bioremediation.
  • WIT (What Is There?) at the Argonne National Laboratory.  A searchable resource for metabolic pathways and an environment for interpreting sequenced genomes (among other things).
  • Groundwater Pollution primer   From the Virginia Tech University. Concentrates on pollution and remediation in groundwaters.
  • The Pseudomonas genome project  This is being done as a collaborative project for P.aeruginosa PAO1, mainly as a result of its role as an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis. However it is a close taxonomic relative of soil saprophytic P.putidaand P.fluorescens,and shares many of its catabolic pathways.
  • The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)  This gives links to many of the major genome projects and will also identify genes/enzymes of major metabolic pathways which have been identified from the genome sequence
