Nitrous Oxide Is a Potent Inhibitor of Bacterial Reductive Dechlorination. [PDF]
Environ Sci Technol, 2019 Organohalide-respiring bacteria are key players for the turnover of organohalogens. At sites impacted with chlorinated ethenes, bioremediation promotes reductive dechlorination; however, stoichiometric conversion to environmentally benign ethene is not ...

Geochemical and microbial community determinants of reductive dechlorination at a site biostimulated with glycerol [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2017 Biostimulation is widely used to enhance reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated aquifers. However, the knowledge on corresponding biogeochemical responses is limited. In this study glycerol was injected in an aquifer contaminated

Modelling of C/Cl isotopic behaviour during chloroethene biotic reductive dechlorination: Capabilities and limitations of simplified and comprehensive models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Predicting the fate of chloroethenes in groundwater is essential when evaluating remediation strategies. Such predictions are expected to be more accurate when incorporating isotopic parameters.

Dechlorination of mixed chlorinated organophosphate esters (V6 and TCEP) and associated reductive dehalogenase gene expression by Dehalococcoides mccartyi [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyDehalococcoides mccartyi (D. mccartyi) plays a critical role in the dechlorination of halogenated organic pollutants, yet its performance on mixed chlorinated organophosphate esters (Cl-OPEs) remains poorly understood.

Sequential Reductive/oxidative Bioelectrochemical Process for Groundwater Perchloroethylene Removal
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021 Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) are common groundwater contaminants, microbial communities naturally present in groundwater can reduce CAHs as perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) to ethylene through reductive dechlorination (RD)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a common residual organic pollutant in paddy soil, and its harmful effects on soil ecosystems have been confirmed. Humic acid (HA) could act as an electron shuttle to promote the reductive dechlorination of PCP under anaerobic ...
