The industrial solvent tetrachloroethylene (PCE) is among the most ubiquitous chlorinated
compounds found in groundwater contamination. The objective of this study was to evaluate …

In situ remediation is usually restricted by temperature, lack of substrate for reductive
dechlorination (anaerobic respiration), the presence of dehalogenating microorganisms …

Degradation of tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene, PCE) was investigated by combining
the metabolic abilities of anaerobic bacteria, capable of reductive dechlorination of PCE …

Chlorinated solvents occur as dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) or as solutes when
dissolved in water. They are present in many pollution sites in urban and industrial areas …

In this study, we report on phylogenetic and physiological characterization of an anaerobic
culture capable of reductive dehalogenation of tetrachloroethene (PCE) obtained from a …

Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are among the most frequently
detected ground water contaminants at industrial sites, including many DoD facilities. Due to …

Perchloroethene (PCE) is a hazardous and persistent groundwater pollutant. Both treatment
with nanoscaled zero-valent iron (nZVI) and biological degradation by bacteria have …

It is generally assumed that pH values between 5 and 9 are favorable for most microbial
activity associated with biodegradation in soils and groundwater. However, little published …

Monitoring and quantification of organohalide respiring bacteria is essential for optimization
of on-site bioremediation of anoxic subsurface sites contaminated with chloroethenes …

The influence of three electron donors on the ability to sustain rapid tetrachloroethene (PCE)
dechlorination in mixed cultures was investigated. Experiments were performed in recycle …
