qPCR Target Information

vcrA is a functional gene of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains with enzymes that catalyses reductive dechlorination of VC to ethene.

Dehalococcoides mccartyi in Micronovo's AusPCE culture mix carry the vcrA functional gene, enabling complete dechlorination of VC and ensuring bioremediation of PCE or TCE doesn't stall at VC (a contaminant more toxic than the initial PCE and TCE contaminants).
