Impact of iron- and/or sulfate-reduction on a cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride respiring bacterial consortium: experiments and model-based interpretation

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray

Process understanding of microbial communities containing organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) is important for effective bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes. The impact of iron and sulfate reduction on cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) and vinyl chloride ...

Chlorinated ethene plume evolution after source thermal remediation: Determination of degradation rates and mechanisms

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Jérémy Zimmermann, Alexandra Marie Murray

The extent, mechanism(s), and rate of chlorinated ethene degradation in a large tetrachloroethene (PCE) plume were investigated in an extensive sampling campaign. Multiple lines of evidence for this degradation were explored, including compound-specific is ...

A modeling approach integrating microbial activity, mass transfer, and geochemical processes to interpret biological assays: An example for PCE degradation in a multi-phase batch setup

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray

The rate at which organic contaminants can be degraded in aquatic environments is not only dependent upon specific degrading bacteria, but also upon the composition of the microbial community, mass transfer of the contaminant, and abiotic processes that oc ...

Coexistence of two distinct Sulfurospirillum populations respiring tetrachloroethene—genomic and kinetic considerations

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet, Mélissa Burion, Alexandra Marie Murray

Two anaerobic bacterial consortia, each harboring a distinct Sulfurospirillum population, were derived from a 10 year old consortium, SL2, previously characterized for the stepwise dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) v ...
