Microbial degradation of chlorinated ethenes and its potential application for in-situ bioremediation

The doctoral thesis summary deals with microbial degradation of chlorinated ethenes and its potential application for in-situ bioremediation. The theoretical part of the work shortly explains the main reasons for soil and groundwater contamination by chloroethenes along with their transport and a fate in a subsurface environment. The work then outlines common procedures that must be undertaken prior to selecting a suitable remediation method at contaminated sites. Further, the work summarizes various microbial processes leading to a transformation and degradation of all chlorinated ethenes and outlines several options for the use of these processes within in-situ bioremediation of affected sites. Special attention is paid to aerobic cometabolic degradation of all three dichloroethenes by pure bacterial strains in a mineral salt medium. The theoretical part of the work ends with an overview of the possible field applications for insitu bioremediation of sites polluted by chloroethenes.
