Bacterial tethering analysis reveals a "run-reverse-turn" mechanism for Pseudomonas species motility.

abstract：:Mineralization of [U-(14)C]methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) to (14)CO(2) without accumulation of t-butyl alcohol (TBA) was observed in surface-water sediment microcosms under denitrifying conditions. Methanogenic activity and limited transformation of MTBE to TBA were observed in the absence of denitrification. Results ind...
