Research Abstract |
As a low cost and low energy consumption treatment method for benzene pollution in soil and groundwater, anaerobic benzene degradation was studied to develop remediation process. Detection and quantification method were developed for benzene degrading bacteria Hasda-A by quantitative PCR and Fluorescent in situ hybridization. Enhancement of benzene degradation was tested and the benzene degradation was always coincided with Hasda-A growth. Degradation in groundwater from contaminated sites and simultaneous degradation with chlorinated ethylenes were also demonstrated.
