Although strictly anaerobic conditions prevail in several environmental compartments, up to
now, biodegradation studies with emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), such as …

▪ Abstract The natural production and anthropogenic release of halogenated hydrocarbons
into the environment has been the likely driving force for the evolution of an unexpectedly …

The anaerobic bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is largely impeded by
difficulties in massively enriching PCB dechlorinators in short periods of time …

Chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in soils and groundwater has a severe negative
impact on the human health. Microbial reductive dechlorination is a major degradation …

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediments remain a significant threat to
humans and aquatic ecosystems. Dredging and disposal is costly, so viable in situ …

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 …

This paper reviews the potential of microorganisms to transform polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs). In anaerobic environments, higher chlorinated biphenyls can undergo reductive …

Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 dechlorinates tetrachloroethene to vinyl chloride
and ethene, and its genome has been found to contain up to 17 putative dehalogenase …

Recent advances in the degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have focussed on
the use of experimental enrichment cultures to obtain PCB-degrading communities, and the …

The bacteria in the anaerobic biofilm on rusted carbon steel immersed in natural seawater
were characterized by culturing and molecular biology techniques. Two types of anaerobic …
