Development of a method to elucidate biodegradation pathways of chlorinated one and two carbon compounds using a gas-permeable-membrane-supported methylotrophic biofilm

Creator:

Ryan, Kelly M.

Abstract:

A gas-permeable-membrane-supported (GPMS) biofilm consisting of methylotrophic bacteria was effective in degrading chlorinated methanes, ethanes, and ethenes. The biofilm was developed on a gas-permeable fabric (Goretex, W.L.Gore & Associates, Elkton, Maryland) that divided a reactor vessel into a liquid compartment and a gas compartment. Goretex is a nylon-backed teflon mesh...
