Abstract:Understanding the spatial distribution of Dehalococcoides and its reductive dehalogenase genes in sediment is important for bioremediation of sites contaminated with chlorinated ethylenes. A total of 56 sediment samples were collected from four contaminated sites in Japan, and quantified copies of Dehalococcoides 16S rRNA and reductive dehalogenase genes: tceA, bvcA, and vcrA, as well as chlorinated ethylenes. Dehalococcoides was detected from 22 sediment samples with various geological formations, textures an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
