Bacterial community adaptation to chlorinated pollutant challenge : implications for ready biodegradation testing

This study aimed to investigate the RBT outcome as a function of the bacterial inoculum during adaptation to degrade the HAs dichloroacetic acid (DCA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and 2-monochloropropionic acid (2MCPA). The HAs investigated were ranked, in order of greatest recalcitrance; TCA > 2M...
