Microbial reductive dechlorination has been considered an effective process for the clean-up of organohalide-contaminated sites. Heavy metal ions are commonly present as co-contaminants in various organohalide-contaminated sites.

Geochemical variability and microbial metabolic functions in oligotrophic sediments exposed to minor seepage [PDF]
Low primary productivity in Barents Sea surface waters and limited nutrient flux to the seafloor favor nitrification and nitrogen fixation in deep waters, resulting in a dearth of organic substrates in local sediments. The addition of labile hydrocarbons

Genome sequencing of a single cell of the widely distributed marine subsurface Dehalococcoidia, phylum Chloroflexi [PDF]
Abstract Bacteria of the class Dehalococcoidia (DEH), phylum Chloroflexi, are widely distributed in the marine subsurface, yet metabolic properties of the many uncultivated lineages are completely unknown. This study therefore analysed genomic content from a single DEH cell designated ‘DEH-J10’ obtained from the sediments of Aarhus ...
