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 …

Highlights•Better removal of some micropollutants in mainstream anaerobic versus aerobic
treatment.•Mainstream anaerobic treatment reduces sludge and associated micropollutants.• …

The importance of microbial community diversity for soil functioning is still debated. Here, we
used a dilution approach (undiluted, and 10− 4, 10− 8 and 10− 12) and supplementation of …

Previous studies often attribute microbial reductive dechlorination to organohalide-respiring
bacteria (OHRB) or cometabolic dechlorination bacteria (CORB). Even though …

Loss of biodiversity is considered to be detrimental to ecosystem function but a mechanistic
understanding, and theoretical support, of this process in soil is lacking. Our previous …

1, 1, 1-Trichloroethane (1, 1, 1-TCA) and trichloroethene (TCE) are common recalcitrant
contaminants that coexist in groundwater. H2-induced reduction over precious-metal …

This study investigated the interaction between function microbiota succession and three
electron acceptors in anaerobic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. Over 20%–60% SMX …

Antimony (Sb), a toxic metalloid, is soluble as antimonate (Sb (V)). While bio-reduction of Sb
(V) is an effective Sb-removal approach, its bio-reduction has been coupled to oxidation of …

Previous studies reported methane gas (CH 4) reservoirs in Saco do Mamanguá ría marine
sediments (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Knowing that methane-related microbiomes are still …

Dichloroethane (1, 2-DCA) is a ubiquitous volatile halogenated organic pollutant in
groundwater and soil, which poses a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health …
