qPCR Target Information

bvcA is a functional gene of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains with enzymes that catalyse reductive dechlorination of DCE and VC to ethene.  Dehalococcoides mccartyi in Micronovo's AusPCE culture mix carry the bvcA functional gene, enabling complete dechlorination of DCE and VC, ensuring bioremediation of PCE or TCE doesn't stall at DCE or VC.
