Contaminant:

Remediation Protocol:

Target Type:

DHG

Polychorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

Reductive dechlorination

Contaminant degrading species

qPCR Target Information

Dehalogenimonas species are strictly anaerobic and capable of reductive dehalogenation of a variety of chlorinated compounds including PCBs. They are positively correlated with PCB dechlorination and have been found in some studies to be codominanting over dehalococcoides.
