APPLICATION OF A METHANOTROPHIC IMMOBILIZED SOIL BIOREACTOR TO TRICHLOROETHYLENE DEGRADATION

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a major groundwater contaminant and is a cause of serious health concern. Methanotrophic TCE degradation is very promising compared with other treatments. Methanotrophs produce methane monooxygenases (MMOs) which catalyze methane oxidation and cometabolize chlorinated and...
