Journal ArticleDOI
Field demonstration of successful bioaugmentation to achieve dechlorination of tetrachloroethene to ethene.

TL;DR: Biostimulation and bioaugmentation to dechlorinate tetrachloroethene (PCE) to ethene at Kelly Air Force Base confirmed that organisms in the KB-1 culture populated the PTA aquifer and contributed to the stimulation of dechlorination beyond cDCE to e thene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorotelomer alcohol biodegradation yields poly- and perfluorinated acids.
TL;DR: Telomer alcohols were demonstrated to be potential sources of PFCAs as a consequence of biotic degradation, and biological transformation may be a major degradation pathway for fluorinated telomers alcohols in aquatic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehalococcoides mccartyi gen. nov., sp. nov., obligately organohalide-respiring anaerobic bacteria relevant to halogen cycling and bioremediation, belong to a novel bacterial class, Dehalococcoidia classis nov., order Dehalococcoidales ord. nov. and family Dehalococcoidaceae fam. nov., within the phylum Chloroflexi.

TL;DR: Six obligately anaerobic bacterial isolates with strictly organohalide-respiring metabolisms obtained from chlorinated solvent-contaminated aquifers, contaminated and uncontaminated river sediments or anoxic digester sludge represent a new genus and species, for which the name Dehalococcoides mccartyi gen. nov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic degradation of toluene and o-xylene by a methanogenic consortium.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the presence of natural organic substrates or contaminants may inhibit anaerobic degradation of pollutants such as toluene and o-xylene at contaminated sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic degradation of toluene and xylene by aquifer microorganisms under sulfate-reducing conditions.
TL;DR: The accumulation of sulfide in the cultures as a result of sulfate reduction appeared to inhibit degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons.
