Abstract
Biodegradation of trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene under aero bic conditions was studied in a sediment column. Cumulative mass balan ces indicated 87 and 90% removal for trichloroethylene and tetrachloro ethylene, respectively. These studies suggest the potential for simult aneous aerobic and anaerobic biotransformation processes under bulk ae robic conditions.
