A quantitative review and meta-analysis on phytoscreening applied to aquifers contaminated by chlorinated ethenes

Carlotta Leoncini et al.

Summary: The application of phytoscreening is limited in many countries due to lack of awareness of application policies, qualitative nature of the technique, and insufficient data analysis. This review aims to fill the knowledge gap and provide insights into the most suitable approaches for phytoscreening. Specifically focusing on chlorinated ethene compounds, the study analyzes phytoscreening data from contaminated sites to identify the factors influencing tree-core concentration. The results suggest that plant uptake and contaminant phytovolatilization are the major drivers of correlation and detectability, respectively.

Molecular characterization of microbial communities in a peat-rich aquifer system contaminated with chlorinated aliphatic compounds

Daniele Ghezzi et al.

Summary: The study conducted on highly contaminated chlorinated aliphatic organics in the subsoil of Ferrara, Italy revealed the importance of microbial degradation as a key mechanism for the dechlorination process. Through analysis of microbial communities using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolic gene analysis, a complex network of metabolic interactions was hypothesized to support effective reductive dechlorination. This study provides insights into the diversity of microbial communities and potential dechlorinators in contaminated aquifer systems, shedding light on the microbial processes involved in bioremediation efforts.

Respiratory Vinyl Chloride Reductive Dechlorination to Ethene in TceA-Expressing Dehalococcoides mccartyi

Jun Yan et al.

Summary: The research demonstrates that Dehalococcoides mccartyi (Dhc) strains FL2 and 195 carrying tceA gene can grow with vinyl chloride (VC) as an electron acceptor when provided with sufficient vitamin B-12, leading to complete dechlorination of VC to ethene. Proteomic analysis shows expression of TceA in VC-grown strain FL2 cultures, and resequencing of tceA genes identified non-synonymous substitutions in both strains. The findings suggest that Dhc strains expressing TceA can respire VC, explaining ethene formation at chlorinated solvent sites where tceA dominates the RDase gene pool.
