1998 journal article

Anaerobic biodegradability of alkylbenzenes and phenol by landfill derived microorganisms

FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY, 25(4), 405–418.

By: Y. Wang n & M. Barlaz n 

author keywords: landfill; anaerobic biodegradability; toluene; phenol; cresol
TL;DR: Landfills were shown to be a habitat harboring anaerobic microbial populations capable of degrading toluene and hydroxyl-substituted aromatics, suggesting that contaminant degradation may be maximized with proper landfill management. (via Semantic Scholar)

1994 journal article

Anaerobic biodegradability of cellulose and hemicellulose in excavated refuse samples using a biochemical methane potential assay

Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 13(3), 147–153.

By: Y. Wang n, C. Byrd* & M. Barlaz n 

author keywords: ANAEROBIC; BIODEGRADATION; CELLULOSE; LANDFILLS; MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE; METHANE
MeSH headings : Anaerobiosis; Biodegradation, Environmental; Cellulose; Methane / analysis; Polysaccharides; Refuse Disposal
TL;DR: The Biochemical Methane Potential test was used to measure the methane potential of ten refuse samples excavated from a Berkeley, CA, landfill, suggesting that some cellulose and hemicellulose present in refuse is recalcitrant or otherwise not bioavailable. (via Semantic Scholar)
