Aerobic degradation of chlorophenols

Creator:

Wang, Gongming

Abstract:

Chlorinated phenols are toxic compounds and often released into natural environments from improper disposal or non-point sources. One important factor in assessing the environmental fate and transport is the rates of microbial degradation in soils and natural waters. In this study, eight chlorophenols (4-chlorophenol (4-CP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 3,4-dichlorophenol (3,4-DCP), 3,5-dichlorophenol...

The activity and growth of a chlorophenol reductively dechlorinating soil culture in the presence of exogenous hydrogen

Creator:

Lotrario, Joseph Bryce

Abstract:

The addition of exogenously supplied hydrogen stimulates PCP reductive dechlorination and increases bacterial growth. While research focuses mainly on pure cultures, few exist capable of aryl reductive dechlorination, and few markers exist to identify reductively dechlorinating bacteria within mixed cultures. Furthermore, most active bioremediation projects stimulate mixed cultures of native...
