چکیده

Fluoroethene (FE) is a stable molecule in aqueous solution and its aerobic transformation potentially yields F-. This work evaluated if FE is a suitable surrogate for monitoring aerobic vinyl chloride (VC) utilization or cometabolic transformation. Experiments were carried out with three isolates, Mycobacterium strain EE13a, Mycobacterium strain JS60, and Nocardioides strain JS614 to evaluate if their affinities for FE and VC and their rates of transformation were comparable and whether the transformation of FE and F- accumulation could be correlated with VC utilization. JS614 grew on FE in addition to VC, making it the first organism reported to use FE as a sole carbon and energy source. EE13a cometabolized VC and FE, and JS60 catabolized VC and cometabolized FE. There was little difference among the three strains in the Ks or kmax values for VC or FE. Competitive inhibition modeled the temporal responses of FE and VC transformations and Cl- and F- release when both substrates were present. Both the rate of FE transformation and rate of F-accumulation could be correlated with the rate of aerobic transformation of VC and showed promise for estimating VC rates in situ using FE as a reactive surrogate.

Anaerobic reductive dechlorination of 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene to track the transformation of vinyl chloride.

1-Chloro-1-fluoroethene (1,1-CFE) was studied as a reactive tracer to quantify the anaerobic transformation of vinyl chloride (VC). Batch kinetic studies of 1,1-CFE and VC transformation were performed with an enrichment culture obtained from the Evanite site in Corvallis, OR. The culture is capable of completely transforming trichloroethene (TCE) through cis-dichloroethene (c-DCE) and VC to et...

Reductive dechlorination of the vinyl chloride surrogate chlorofluoroethene in TCE-contaminated groundwater.

At many trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated field sites, microbial transformation of TCE results in the accumulation of vinyl chloride (VC), a known carcinogen and neurotoxin. Quantitative tools are needed to determine the in situ rates of VC transformation to ethene in contaminated groundwater. For this study, E-/Z-chlorofluoroethene (E-/Z-CFE) was evaluated as a surrogate for VC in laboratory ...

In situ anaerobic transformation of trichlorofluoroethene in trichloroethene-contaminated groundwater.

Methods are needed to obtain in situ information on the transformation rates of trichloroethene (TCE), the most commonly detected organic groundwater contaminant. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential for determining TCE transformation rates in groundwater by measuring the transformation rate of its fluorinated surrogate, trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE). To explore this h...

Trichlorofluoroethene: A Reactive Tracer for Evaluating Reductive Dechlorination in Large-Diameter Permeable Columns

Trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE) was used as a reactive tracer to determine the in situ rate of reductive dechlorination in treatment zones impacted by three large-diameter permeable columns (LDPCs) that were installed at a trichloroethene (TCE)–contaminated site. The LDPCs were part of a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of hydrogen, lactate, and zerovalent iron for remediating TCE-contami...

Phylogenetic and kinetic diversity of aerobic vinyl chloride-assimilating bacteria from contaminated sites.

Aerobic bacteria that grow on vinyl chloride (VC) have been isolated previously, but their diversity and distribution are largely unknown. It is also unclear whether such bacteria contribute to the natural attenuation of VC at chlorinated-ethene-contaminated sites. We detected aerobic VC biodegradation in 23 of 37 microcosms and enrichments inoculated with samples from various sites. Twelve dif...
