1,2-DCA biodegradation potential of an aquifer assessed in situ and in aerobic and anaerobic microcosms
Our results demonstrate the occurrence of both aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation potential in the aquifer despite its negative redox potential. Due to the feasibility of direct oxidation with oxygen insufflation, we propose that an enhanced bioremediation strategy based on direct oxidation of 1,2-DCA could be applied to the contaminated aquifer as an ecofriendly, efficient and cost-effective approach as an alternative to anaerobic biodegradation.
