Bioremediation by in situ biostimulation is an attractive alternative to excavation of
contaminated soil. Many in situ remediation methods have been tested with some success; …

Organohalide respiration is an anaerobic bacterial respiratory process that uses
halogenated hydrocarbons as terminal electron acceptors during electron transport-based …

The 16S rRNA gene provides insufficient information to infer the range of chloroorganic
electron acceptors used by different Dehalococcoides organisms. To overcome this …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of widely used flame retardants that
have recently been detected in environmental samples, diverse biota, human blood serum …

Contamination by chloroethenes has a severe negative effect on both the environment and
human health. This has prompted intensive remediation activity in recent years, along with …

A strictly anaerobic bacterium was isolated from tetrachloroethene (PCE)‐to‐ethene
dechlorinating microcosms established with river sediment without prior exposure to …

Human activities have released large amounts of toxic organic and inorganic chemicals into
the environment. Toxic waste streams threaten dwindling drinking water supplies and impact …

ABSTRACT A novel Dehalococcoides isolate capable of metabolic trichloroethene (TCE)-to-
ethene reductive dechlorination was obtained from contaminated aquifer material. Growth …

Dehalococcoides sp. strain BAV1 couples growth with the reductive dechlorination of vinyl
chloride (VC) to ethene. Degenerate primers targeting conserved regions in reductive …

Bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes in anoxic aquifers hinges on organohalide-respiring
Dehalococcoidia expressing vinyl chloride (VC) reductive dehalogenase (RDase). The tceA …
