ISBN: 3662498758
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
This book summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning bacteria that use halogenated organic compounds as respiratory electron acceptors. The discovery of organohalide-respiring bacteria has expanded the range of electron acceptors used for energy conservation, and serves as a prime example of how scientific discoveries are enabling innovative engineering solutions that have transformed remediation practice. Individual chapters provide in-depth background information on the discovery, isolation, phylogeny, biochemistry, genomic features, and ecology of individual organohalide-respiring genera, including Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, Dehalobacter, Desulfitobacterium and Sulfurospirillum, as well as organohalide-respiring members of the Deltaproteobacteria. The book introduces readers to the fascinating biology of organohalide-respiring bacteria, offering a valuable resource for students, engineers and practitioners alike.

Book Description
For the first time reductive dechlorination of PCBs was shown to occur in marine and estuarine microcosms from sites with ambient temperatures below 10 degrees centigrade. It was shown that the types of activities are influenced by the location of the site and the ambient temperature. In addition, it is now clear that non-indigenous dechlorinating organisms can be added to sediments microcosms to dechlorinate PCBs. These studies suggest that reductive dechlorination of PCBs has the potential to occur in coastal regions with lower ambient temperatures. The result also suggest that active biotreatment of PCB impacted dredge spoils by augmentation may be possible in colder climates.

Book Description
For many years researchers have tried to identify and monitor PCB dechlorinating bacteria. Strains o-17 and DF-1 are the first PCB dechlorinating bacteria to be identified. These organisms have proven to be very difficult to grow in pure culture thus far. However, for the first time molecular approaches (165 rDNA analysis) has ben combined with enrichment culture technique to identify these organisms. This is a significant breakthrough that will advance the application of bioremediation and it proves that such an approach can be used to identify difficult to culture environmental microorganisms, which is to say most microorganisms. Now for the first time these organisms can be monitored in order to better understand their physiology and to track the organisms in situ, before, during and after active and passive remediation attempts.
