Indirect Evidence Link PCB Dehalogenation with Geobacteraceae in Anaerobic Sediment-Free Microcosms
Although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) production was brought to a halt 30 years ago, recalcitrance to degradation makes them a major environmental pollutant at a global scale. Previous studies confirmed that organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were capable of utilizing chlorinated congeners as electron acceptor. OHRB belonging to the Phyla Chloroflexi and Firmicutes are nowadays consider...
متن کاملPCB dechlorination enhancement in Anacostia River sediment microcosms.
In situ treatment of PCB contaminated sediments via microbial dechlorination is a promising alternative to dredging, which may be reserved for only the most contaminated areas. Reductive dechlorination of low levels of weathered PCB mixtures typical of urban environments may occur at slow rates. Here, we report that biostimulation and bioaugmentation enhanced dechlorination of low concentration...
متن کاملComplete reductive dehalogenation of brominated biphenyls by anaerobic microorganisms in sediment.
We sought to determine whether microorganisms from the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediment in Woods Pond (Lenox, Mass.) could dehalogenate brominated biphenyls. The PCB dechlorination specificities for the microorganisms in this sediment have been well characterized. This allowed us to compare the dehalogenation specificities for brominated biphenyls and chlorinated biphenyls w...
متن کاملAerobic and anaerobic mineralization of organic material in marine sediment microcosms
Fluxes of total CO2, 02, NO3-+NO2-, NH,', DON (dissolved organic nitrogen) and HSwere measured across the interface of a coastal bay sediment for 43 d. The seawater overlying the defaunated sediment cores was changed continuously. Two treatments were employed: oxygenated overlying water (OX-cores) and anoxic water (AN-cores). Fluxes were measured before and after addition of an organic substrat...
متن کاملReductive dehalogenation of trichloroethene vapors in an anaerobic biotrickling filter.
Until now, it has not been possible to use biofiltration to treat trichloroethene (TCE) from waste gases generated by soil vapor extraction or dual-phase extraction at remediation sites because aerobic biodegradation of TCE is possible only via cometabolism, which is difficult to engineer on a large scale. This study looks at the possibility of conducting anaerobic gas-phase biotreatment of TCE...
