TL;DR: Results demonstrate that both freshly spiked and aged PCDDs are available to microbial reductive dechlorination, the peri and triCDD dechlorinations are attributed to activities of nonmethanogenic, non-spore-forming microbial subpopulations, and the 2,3,7,8-residue patterns in historically contaminated sediments are likely affected by microbial activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the dechlorination of octa-and pentachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and dibenzofurans (PCDF) was investigated using organic and inorganic electron shuttles relevant to anaerobic sediments.

TL;DR: In this article, the dechlorination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) under combined reductive activities of the same microbial community and model humic constituents (MHCs) (resorcinol, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid [3,4]-DHBA, and catechol) was investigated.

TL;DR: The data suggested the independency of TRG profiles of antibiotic usage, variability in TRG persistence in manure lagoons, correlations between operational practices and TRG incidence in farms' vicinities, and spills and seepage from lagoONS as TRG environmental routes.

TL;DR: The frequency of TRG/INT incidents correlated to dissolved solids, potential water density, and turbidity but not to the amount of local precipitation suggesting the watershed as the dominant source of TRg/INT contamination and other than directly rainfall-caused run-offs as its environmental route.
