Field application of glycerol to enhance reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes and its impact on microbial community

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Chlorinated ethenes (CEs) are common and persistent contaminants of soil and groundwater. Their degradation is mostly driven by a process of bacterial reductive dechlorination (also called organohalide respiration) in anaerobic conditions. This study summarizes the outcomes of the long-term in-situ application of glycerol for the enhanced reductive dechlorination of CEs on a highly contaminated site. Glycerol injection resulted in an almost immediate increase in the abundance of fermentative Firmicutes, which produce essential sources of carbon (acetate) and electrons (H2) for organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) and change groundwater conditions to be suitable for OHRB growth. The decreased redox potential of groundwater promoted also the proliferation of sulfate-reducing bacteria, which compete for electron donors with OHRB but at the same time support their growth by producing essential corrinoids and acetate. A considerable increase in the abundance of OHRB Dehalococcoides, concurrently with vinyl chloride (VC) reductase gene levels, was revealed by real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. Consistent with the shifts in bacterial populations, the concentrations of pollutants tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene decreased during the monitoring period, with rising levels of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, VC, and most importantly, the final CE degradation products: ethene and ethane. Our study implies the importance of syntrophic bacterial interactions for successful and complete CE degradation and evaluates glycerol as convenient substrate to enhance reductive dechlorination and as an effective source of electrons for OHRB.
