1,2-Dichloropropane (1,2-D), a widespread groundwater contaminant, can be reductively dechlorinated to propene by anaerobic bacteria. To shed light on the populations involved in the detoxification process, a comprehensive 16S rRNA gene-based bacterial community analysis of two enrichment cultures derived from geographically distinct locations was performed. Analysis of terminal restriction fragments, amplicons obtained with dechlorinator-specific PCR primers, and enumeration with quantitative real-time PCR as well as screening clone libraries all implied that Dehalococcoides populations were involved in 1,2-D dechlorination in both enrichment cultures. Physiological traits (e.g., dechlorination in the presence of ampicillin and a requirement for hydrogen as the electron donor) supported the involvement of Dehalococcoides populations in the dechlorination process. These findings expand the spectrum of chloroorganic compounds used by Dehalococcoides species as growth-supporting electron acceptors. The combined molecular approach allowed a comparison between different 16S rRNA gene-based approaches for the detection of Dehalococcoides populations.
