Microbial Remediation of Halogenated Compounds via Microbial Chain Elongation
­Chlorinated solvents (e.g., tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and 1,2-cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) are widespread legacy groundwater pollutants. The most common groundwater treatment for bioremediation of PCE and TCE is in situ anaerobic reductive dechlorination by Dehalococcoides mccartyi. Hydrogen (H2) is a crucial electron donor...

Controlling Microbiological Processes for In Situ Contaminant Treatment
­Groundwater remediation is the process that is used to treat groundwater by removing pollutants. There are different groundwater remediation methods, but they all have the same goal: clean polluted water. One method is bioremediation wherein a biological system is employed for removing environmental pollutants. In situ remediation of subsurface...
