Field application of a rapid spectrophotometric method for determination of persulfate in soil

Remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils can be performed both in situ and ex situ using chemical oxidants such as sodium persulfate. Standard methods for quantifying persulfate require either centrifugation or prolonged settling times. An optimized s ...

Correlations between environmental variables and bacterial community structures suggest Fe(III) and vinyl chloride reduction as antagonistic terminal electron-accepting processes

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani

Natural attenuation of anaerobic aquifers contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) often results in the accumulation of the intermediates cis-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride (VC) which are even more toxic than the parent compound. Reasons for this accum ...

Increasing PCR sensitivity by removal of polymerase inhibitors in environmental samples by using dielectrophoresis

Philippe Renaud, Rodrigo Martinez Duarte

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful tool to manipulate cells and molecules in microfluidic chips. However, few practical applications using DEP exist. An immediate practical application of a carbon- electrode DEP system, in removing PCR inhibitors from a ...

Functional genotyping of Sulfurospirillum spp. in mixed cultures allowed the identification of a new tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet

Background Several enrichment cultures were investigated for their bioremediation potential of tetrachloroethene (PCE). The underlying process (organohalide respiration, OHR) is an anaerobic bacterial respiration during which the chlorinated compounds are ...

Dynamic pressure distribution around a fixed confined block impacted by plunging and aerated water jets

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The scour process created by the impingement of high-velocity water jets on fissured rock is the result of complex physical phenomena. Of great importance are the jet development during the trajectory through the atmosphere, the diffusion process inside th ...

Biogeochemical controls on the product of microbial U(VI) reduction

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Daniel Scott Alessi, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo, Paul Pao-Yun Shao

Biologically mediated immobilization of radio-nuclides in the subsurface is a promising strategy for the remediation of uranium-contaminated sites. During this process, soluble U(VI) is reduced by indigenous microorganisms to sparingly soluble U(TV). The c ...

Impact of microbial Mn oxidation on the remobilization of bioreduced U(IV)

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Kelly Lee Plathe

Effects of Mn redox cycling on the stability of bioreduced U(IV) are evaluated here. U(VI) can be biologically reduced to less soluble U(IV) species and the stimulation of biological activity to that end is a salient remediation strategy; however, the stab ...

The Physiological Opportunism of Desulfitobacterium hafniense Strain TCE1 towards Organohalide Respiration with Tetrachloroethene

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aurélie Duret

Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1 is capable of metabolically reducing tetra- and trichloroethenes by organohalide respiration. A previous study revealed that the pce gene cluster responsible for this process is located on an active composite transp ...

Functional diversity of reductive dehalogenases in a bacterial consortium degrading chloroethenes

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet

Several enrichment cultures were investigated in our laboratory for the bioremediation potential of tetrachloroethene (PCE). The underlying process, organohalide respiration (OHR), is based on bacterial anaerobic respiration in which the chlorinated compou ...
