MICROBIAL REDUCTIVE DECHLORINATION OF HEXACHORO-1,3-BUTADIENE IN A METHANOGENIC ENRICHMENT CULTURE

摘要

Sequential reductive dechlorination of hexachloro1,3-butadiene (HCBD) was achieved by a mixed, methanogenic culture enriched from a contaminated estuarine sediment. Both methanoil and lactate served as carbon and electron sources. Methanol was stoichiometrically converted to methane, whereas lactate was fermented to propionate and acetate and then to methane.
