Advanced Environmental Molecular Diagnostics to Assess, Monitor, and Predict Microbial Activities at Complicated Chlorinated Solvent Sites

Abstract

Bioremediation plays a crucial role in removal of chlorinated solvents when implemented as a stand-alone technology at sites undergoing MNA, biostimulation with an without bioaugmentation treatment, or as a polishing step at sites where physical/chemical treatment has been implemented. MBTs provide information about the presence/absence and abundance of keystone dechlorinating bacteria (i.e., organohalide-respiring Dehalococcoidia) during site assessment to guide remedy selection.
