Anaerobic bioremediation of groundwater contaminated by chloroethenes Introduction Chloroethenes, such as tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) are one of the contaminants in soil and groundwater which is a significant problem domestically and internationally. Without extracting these contaminants from the ground, the in-situ treatment which directly degrades contaminants in soil or groundwater is now closely watched as an economical remediation technique. Especially, the

1. Explain why is each of these is often resistant to disinfectants. 1. Mycobacterium Mycobacterium is often resistant to disinfectants because of their waxy outer layer which classifies them as an acid fast bacterium. Mycobacterium are the rod shaped aerobic bacteria. 2. Pseudomonas may be resistant to disinfectants dependent on which surfaces may be disinfected with which product. 3. Bacillus are often resistant to disinfectants as these gram-positive rods have the ability to form an endospore
