TLDR
In this paper, methane and air were injected through a horizontal well into a trichloroethylene-contaminated site at a depth of 160ft below ground surface to stimulate methanotrophic biodegradation of trichlormethylene (TCE).About:

Strategies for the aerobic co-metabolism of chlorinated solvents
TL;DR: Aromatic substrates (phenol and toluene) are best used for treatment of chlorinated ethenes, whereas gaseous co-metabolic substrate (methane and propane) are better suited for the treatment ofchlorinated methanes and ethanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ aerobic cometabolism of chlorinated solvents: a review.
TL;DR: Bioaugmentation of resting-cells previously grown in a fermenter and in-well addition of oxygen and growth substrate appear to be the most promising approaches for aquifer bioremediation.

Biodegradation of the gasoline oxygenates
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for degrading an undesirable ether-based environmental contaminant by contacting the ether with a propane-oxidizing microorganism or with an isopropanoloxidising micro-organism to convert the ether to innocuous compounds which are environmentally acceptable was proposed.

Statistical Methods for Environmental Pollution Monitoring
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed three-stage sampling: simple random sampling, two stage sampling and three stage sampling, and two-stage and double sampling, respectively, to estimate the mean and variance from censored data sets.

General method for determining anaerobic biodegradation potential.
TL;DR: A revised anaerobic salts medium was developed which minimizes problems of a biological gas production (CO2), avoids precipitation, and meets the requirements of theAnaerobic microbiota.

Degradation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b expressing soluble methane monooxygenase.
TL;DR: Degradation of trichloroethylene by the methanotrophic bacterium Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was studied by using cells grown in continuous culture, finding that TCE degradation was a strictly cometabolic process, requiring the presence of a cosubstrate, preferably formate, and oxygen.
