Currently this wiki is under construction. We hope to bring the entire site running up to full speed as soon as we can. For the time being, there will be broken links and navigation issues until we iron out the kinks. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Why focus on nitrogen bioremediation?
The removal of nitrogen heterocycles from the petroleum tailings ponds is important for both of the main goals of the OSCAR project. Since nitrogen containing compounds lower the quality and stability of fuel (Katzer & Sivasubramanian, 1979) , their presence would be detrimental to the usefulness of the hydrocarbons OSCAR could create. The presence of nitrogen compounds in our products also hinders our environmental goals as they have been shown to undergo radical changes, yielding highly genotoxic byproducts (Xu et al).
