The Characterization of Trichloroethylene Degradation by Methylomonas sp. KSW III isolated from TCE-Contaminated Site.

Trichloroethylene (TCE)

Current evaluation Conclusion from the previous Monograph: Trichloroethylene (TCE) is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) based on limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of TCE and sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of TCE. In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group considered the following evidence: (i) although the hypothesis linkin...

Guidance for Contaminated Sites: Trichloroethylene (TCE) Risk Assessment Case Study

Novel Bacterial Strains Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Oil Contaminated Soils for Degradation of Flourene and Phenanthrene

Flourene and phenanthrene are organic compounds with high hydrophobicity and toxicity. Being recalcitrant in nature they are accumulating in the environment at an alarming concentration, posing serious threat to living beings. Thus in the present study, microorganisms were screened for their ability to degrade these contaminants at high concentrations in least period of time. Two out of fifteen...

Degradation of Trichloroethylene by Bacteria Isolated from Activated Sludge

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most serious chlorinated pollutants of some groundwater of many industrial countries so that a possibility of its microbial degradation is an aim of many research and engineer teams. Natural strain C. testosteroni RF2 and its derivative strain VM obtained by mutagenesis were tested for their capability to trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation. Both strains we...
