dc.description.abstractEnglish: In summary, the presented data provide comprehensive information to extend our knowledge concerning anaerobic degradation of naphthalene. The results obtained indicated that methylation coupled to fumarate addition is the initial activation mechanisms for naphthalene degradation by the nitrate reducing enrichment culture. Such mechanisms have previously been suggested for anaerobic naphthalene activation but only in sulphate reducing cultures. However, more research is needed to establish the entire pathway and proteins involved in the degradation.en_ZA
dc.description.abstractAfrikaans: Ter opsomming, die data wat aangebied is verskaf omvattende inligting om ons kennis van anaërobiese afbraak van naftaleen aan te vul. Die resultate wat verkry is dui aan dat metilering gekoppel aan fumaraat aanvulling die aanvanklike aktivering meganismes vir naftaleen afbraak deur die nitraat reduserende verrykde kultuur is. Sulke meganismes was voorheen voorgestel vir anaërobiese naftaleen aktivering maar slegs in sulfaat reduserende kulture. Daar is egter meer navorsing nodig is om die hele metabolise weg en proteïene betrokke by die afbraak te bevestig.af
