“…This liquid is a complex mixture that consists of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds and heterocyclic compounds (Gundlach et al, 1983;Mueller et al, 1989;Annweiler et al, 2001;Mundt & Hollender, 2005;Xu et al, 2006;Andersson et al, 2006). S-, N-and O-heterocyclic aromatic compounds constitute approximately 5-13 % of creosote (Mueller et al, 1989).…”

“…Additionally, BDS can effectively remove some key sulfur-containing compounds that are among the most difficult for HDS to treat. BDS can be used instead of, or complementary with, HDS [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52].…”

“…It is also widely used as a model compound for the study of biodegradation of aromatic Nheterocyclic hydrocarbons (Xu et al 2006). However, its release into the environment from diverse anthropogenic sources is of serious health and environmental concern, as carbazole is both mutagenic and toxic and classified as ''benign tumorigen'' (Smith and Hansch 2000;Nojiri and Omori 2007).…”

The last two decades had witnessed extensive investigation on bacterial degradation of carbazole, an Nheterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Specifically, previous studies have reported the primary importance of angular dioxygenation, a novel type of oxygenation reaction, which facilitates mineralization of carbazole to intermediates of the TCA cycle. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria are the predominant bacterial phyla implicated in this novel mode of dioxygenation, while anthranilic acid and catechol are the signature metabolites. Several studies have elucidated the degradative genes involved, the diversity of the car gene clusters and the unique organization of the car gene clusters in marine carbazole degraders. However, there is paucity of information regarding the environmental fate as well as industrial and medical importance of carbazole and its derivatives. In this review, attempt is made to harness this information to present a comprehensive outlook that not only focuses on carbazole biodegradation pathways, but also on its environmental fate as well as medical and industrial importance of carbazole and its derivatives.
