Stable carbon isotope fractionation in chlorinated ethene degradation by bacteria expressing three toluene oxygenases
One difficulty in using bioremediation at a contaminated site is demonstrating that biodegradation is actually occurring in situ. The stable isotope composition of contaminants may help with this, since they can serve as an indicator of biological activity. To use this approach it is necessary to...
