Abstract
Concentrated cell suspensions of methanogenic bacteria reductively dechlorinated 1,2-dichloroethane via two reaction-mechanisms: a dihalo-elimination yielding ethylene and two hydrogenolysis reactions yielding chloroethane and ethane, consecutively. The transformation of chloroethane to ethane was inhibited by 1,2-dichloroethane. Stimulation of methanogenesis caused an increase in the amount of dechlorination products formed, whereas the opposite was found when methane formation was inhibited. Cells of Methanosarcina barkeri grown on H2/CO2 converted 1,2-dichloroethane and chloroethane at higher rates than acetate or methanol grown cells.Entities:
