Two areas of research are reported on: (1) comparison of the activity of subsurface and surface microorganisms and their anaerobic transformation of heterocyclic compounds; and (2) determination of factors which affect anaerobic microbial activity in the deep subsurface (fourth hole of the Savannah River Plant). In relation to (1) above, experiments were conducted with indole, oxindole, and pyridine under methanogenic and denitrifying conditions. In relation to (2), aerobic and anaerobic conditions of degradation are discussed. (CBS)
