Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are worldwide environmental pollutants. Their bioavailability is limited by a low aqueous solubility, which causes specific adaptations in degrading bacteria. To compare bacterial degrading behavior, a study was conducted on the mineralization, metabolization and formation of

Thauera linaloolentis 47Lol uses the tertiary monoterpene alcohol (R,S)-linalool as sole carbon and energy source under denitrifying conditions. The conversion of linalool to geraniol had been observed in carbon-excess cultures, suggesting the presence of a 3,1-hydroxyl-Δ(1)-Δ(2)-mutase (linalool isomerase) as responsible
