Diamondoids are not forever: microbial biotransformation of diamondoid carboxylic acids

Summary Oil sands process‐affected waters (OSPW) contain persistent, toxic naphthenic acids (NAs), including the abundant yet little‐studied diamondoid carboxylic acids. Therefore, we investigated the aerobic microbial biotransformation of two of the most abundant, chronically toxic and environmenta...
