Effects of activated carbon on reductive dechlorination of PCBs by organohalide respiring bacteria indigenous to sediments.

Water Research, 2014
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have accumulated in aquatic sediments due to their inherent chemical stability and their presence poses a risk due to their potential toxicity in humans and animals. Granular activated carbon (GAC) has been applied to PCB contaminated sediment sites to reduce the aqueous concentration by sequestration thus reducing the ...

Discovery of Organohalide-Respiring Processes and the Bacteria Involved

2016
Hazardous halogenated organic compounds are produced industrially for a variety of uses, are highly resistant to degradation by aerobic organisms, and are now widely distributed throughout the natural environment. Discovered in the 1960s were, anaerobic organisms that can transform chlorinated pesticides such as DDT and lindane.

Sequential Reductive Dechlorination of Triclosan by Sediment Microbiota Harboring Organohalide-Respiring Dehalococcoidia.

Environmental Science and Technology
Aquatic ecosystems represent a prominent reservoir of xenobiotic compounds, including triclosan (TCS), a broad-spectrum biocide extensively used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products.

Plastisphere Microbiomes Respiring Persistent Organohalide Pollutants.

Environmental Science and Technology
Plastics are invading nearly all ecosystems on earth, acting as emerging repositories for toxic organic pollutants and thereby imposing substantial threats to ecological integrity. The colonization of plastics by microorganisms, forming the plastisphere,
