“…This metabolic versatility is one aspect that makes it attractive for engineering not only because of the breadth of opportunities for products but also because of the possibilities for feedstocks. PNSB have been studied extensively for wastewater cleanup ( Adessi et al, 2017 ) including in olive mill wastewater ( Eroglu et al, 2010 ; Pintucci et al, 2013 ), beet molasses ( Keskin and Hallenbeck, 2012 ), dairy wastewater ( Seifert et al, 2010b ), soy sauce wastewater ( Anam et al, 2012 ), brewery wastewater ( Seifert et al, 2010a ), a swine wastewater ditch ( Okubo et al, 2006 ), and crude glycerol ( Sabourin-Provost and Hallenbeck, 2009 ; Ghosh et al, 2012a , b ). It has also been shown to be effective for the bioremediation of aromatic compounds ( Harwood and Gibson, 1986 , 1988 ; Sasikala and Ramana, 1998 ; Zengler et al, 1999 ; Gibson and Harwood, 2006 ) including lignin monomer degradation ( Harwood and Gibson, 1988 ; Salmon et al, 2013 ).…”
