Rhamnolipid-augmented medium enhances growth of Dehalobium chlorocoercia on chloroethenes and polychlorinated biphenyls

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated ethenes, such as perchloroethene (PCE), are persistent environmental contaminants that pose significant ecological and health risks.

Geophysics‐Based Contaminant Mass Discharge Quantification Downgradient of a Landfill and a Former Pharmaceutical Factory

Water Resources Research, 2018
Contaminant mass discharge is a commonly applied tool to evaluate the environmental impact of contaminated sites on water resources. At large contaminated sites with heterogeneous sources, such as landfills, the number of wells available is often not ...

Genomic determinants of organohalide-respiration in Geobacter lovleyi, an unusual member of the Geobacteraceae

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Geobacter lovleyi is a unique member of the Geobacteraceae because strains of this species share the ability to couple tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dechlorination to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) with energy conservation and growth (i ...

Remediation of Chlorinated Ethenes Using Reactive Iron Barrier and Its Impact on Indigenous Bacteria

, 2014
Chlorinated ethenes are among the most often detected organic contaminants ingroundwater. Under anaerobic conditions, tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) can be degraded by the sequence of reductive dechlorination ...

Identification of microorganisms involved in reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated ethenes in an anaerobic microbial community.

, 2005
In this study, we report on phylogenetic and physiological characterization of an anaerobic culture capable of reductive dehalogenation of tetrachloroethene (PCE) obtained from a PCE-contaminated site.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

A Mixed Microbial Community for the Biodegradation of Chlorinated Ethenes and 1,4-Dioxane

, 2018
We developed a microbial community capable of biodegrading mixtures of chlorinated ethenes and 1,4-dioxane under varying redox conditions. Achieving the removal of chlorinated ethenes as well as 1,4-dioxane to below health advisory levels in groundwater ...

Analysis of chlorinated ethenes behaviour in fractured and karstic limestone [PDF]

, 2021
The understanding of the transport and degradation phenomena of chlorinated ethenes in fractured aquifers as well as the assessment of the cleanup times poses an extreme technical challenge. In the present study a method to analyze reactive transport and
