A valnable comparison was made of the relative effectiveness of (a) augmentation with a cnltnre containing Dehalococcoides ethenogenes, (b) stimnlation of the natural dechlo-rinated population by addition of lactate and mineral nntrients, and (c) a recircnlation control withont amendment (Lendvay et al. 2003). The hrst procedure rapidly affected complete dechlorination, whereas the second was effective only after a lag period, and in both the hrst and second treatments the population of Dehalococcoides increased.

An antibiotic-resistant bacterium, Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195, that Cornell University researchers isolated from sewage sludge, has been found to remove all the chlorine from organic solvents such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) by halorespiration to form ethene, an innocuous end product.
