Enumeration of Organohalide Respirers in Municipal Wastewater Anaerobic Digesters

Organohalide contaminants such as triclosan and triclocarban have been well documented in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but the degradation of these contaminants is not well understood. One possible removal mechanism is organohalide respiration by which bacteria reduce the halogenat...
