Temperature determines the pattern of anaerobic microbial dechlorination of aroclor 1260 primed by 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorobiphenyl in Woods Pond sediment
Article Abstract:
A research was conducted to examine reductive dechlorination of the Aroclor 1260 residue at the Woods Pond in Lenox, MA. The sediment slurries were incubated anaerobically with and without 2,3,4,6-tetrachloribiphenyl as a primer for dechlorination of the Aroclor 1260 residue. Polychlorinated biphenyls were extracted with anhydrous diethyl ether containing octachloronaphthalene. Results suggested that temperature effects on dechlorination will assist in predictions of environmental fate and in the development of bioremediation strategies.

Dechlorination of chloroethenes is inhibited by 2-bromoethanesulfonate in the absence of methanogens
Article Abstract:
A research was conducted study the role of methanogenic archaea to tetrachloroethene dechlorination. 16S rDNA targeted primers were utilized to confirm the absence of methanogenic arachaea while samples were beaten at 5,000 beats per minute in a Mini-Beadbeater. Enrichment cultures produced bacterial 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction products. Results indicated that 2-Bromoethanesulfonate was a potent inhibitor of methanogenic archaea, although its action was not as specific as previously believed.
