An aerobic enrichment culture was grown on vinyl chloride (VC) as the sole source of carbon and energy. In the absence of VC, the enrichment culture cometabolized cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) and, to a lesser extent, trans1,2-dichloroethene (tDCE), beginning with oxidation to the corresponding DCE-epoxides. When provided with VC (1.3 mM) and cDCE (0.2-0.3 mM), the enrichment culture cometabolized repeated additions of cDCE for over 85 days. Cometabolism of repeated additions of tDCE was also demonstrated but at a lower ratio of nongrowth substrate to VC. VC-grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa MF1 (previously isolated from the enrichment culture) also readily cometabolizes cDCE, with an observed transformation capacity (Tc,obs) of 0.82 micromol of cDCE/mg of total suspended solids (TSS). When provided with VC and cDCE, MF1 did not begin cometabolizing cDCE until nearly all of the VC was consumed. The presence of cDCE reduces the maximum specific rate of VC utilization. A kinetic model was developed that describes these phenomena via Monod parameters for substrate and nongrowth substrate, plus inactivation and inhibition coefficients. MF1 did not show any cometabolic activity on tDCE or trichloroethene and very limited activity on 1,1-DCE (Tc,obs = 2 x 10(-5) micromol/mg TSS). Above 40 microM, tDCE and TCE noticeably increased the maximum specific rate of VC utilization, even though neither compound was consumed during or after VC consumption. High concentrations of 1,1-DCE (950 microM) completely inhibited VC biodegradation. As there is currently no evidence for aerobic biodegradation of cDCE as a sole source of carbon and energy, the results of this study provide a potential explanation for in situ disappearance of cDCE when the only other significant substrate available is VC. It is fortuitous that the VC-grown cultures tested exhibit their highest cometabolic activity toward cDCE, because it is the predominant DCE isomer formed during anaerobic reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene and tetrachloroethene.
Biodegradation of cis-1,2-dichloro-ethylene at low concentrations with methane-oxidizing bacteria in a biofilm reactor

This work focuses on the kinetics of cis-1,2-dichloro-ethylene (c-DCE) biodegradation at very low concentrations in an aerobic fixed-film reactor inoculated with a mixed culture of methane-oxidizing bacteria. Analysis of dissolved components were performed by membrane-inlet mass-spectrometry allowing an on-line control of the reactor performance. The results are of practical interest for groundwater restoration or for waterworks.
Products and reaction pats in the liquid phase oxidation of trans-1,2-dichloroethene with oxygen

Ultraviolet initiated liquid phase oxidation of neat trans-1,2-dichloroethene (1a) with oxigen at 30 deg C afforded ca. 45percent of the combined Cl-products CO, CO2, and phosgene as well as nine oxygenated and nine non-oxygenated chlorinated organic products.Major oxigenated products were cis- and trans-2,3-dichlorooxirane (6a, b) and 1,2,2-trichloroethyl formate (13); minor products were e.g., meso and rac bis(1,2,2-trichloroethyl)ether (11c, d) and dichloromethyl 1,2,2,-trichloroethyl ether (12).The mode of formation of all products is rationalized by a unified reaction scheme.
