Abstract
Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB)-mediated reductive dehalogenation is promising in in situ bioremediation of chloroethene-contaminated sites. The bioremediation efficiency of this approach is largely determined by the successful colonization of fastidious OHRB, which is highly dependent on the presence of proper growth niches and microbial interactions. In this study, based on two ecological principles (i.e., Priority Effects and Coexistence Theory), three strategies were developed to enhance niche colonization of OHRB, which were tested both in laboratory experiments and field applications: (i) preinoculation of a niche-preparing culture (NPC, being mainly constituted of fermenting bacteria and methanogens); (ii) staggered fermentation; and (iii) increased inoculation of CE40 (a Dehalococcoides-containing tetrachloroethene-to-ethene dechlorinating enrichment culture). Batch experimental results show significantly higher dechlorination efficiencies, as well as lower concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and methane, in experimental sets with staggered fermentation and niche-preconditioning with NPC for 4 days (CE40_NPC-4) relative to control sets. Accordingly, a comparatively higher abundance of Dehalococcoides as major OHRB, together with a lower abundance of fermenting bacteria and methanogens, was observed in CE40_NPC-4 with staggered fermentation, which indicated the balanced syntrophic and competitive interactions between OHRB and other populations for the efficient dechlorination. Further experiments with microbial source tracking analyses suggested enhanced colonization of OHRB by increasing the inoculation ratio of CE40. The optimized conditions for enhanced colonization of OHRB were successfully employed for field bioremediation of trichloroethene (TCE, 0.3-1.4 mM)- and vinyl chloride (VC, ∼0.04 mM)-contaminated sites, resulting in 96.6% TCE and 99.7% VC dechlorination to ethene within 5 and 3 months, respectively. This study provides ecological principles-guided strategies for efficient bioremediation of chloroethene-contaminated sites, which may be also employed for removal of other emerging organohalide pollutants.

Abstract
Recalcitrant groundwater contamination is a common problem at hazardous waste sites worldwide. Groundwater contamination persists despite decades of remediation efforts at many sites because contaminants sorbed or dissolved within low-conductivity zones can back diffuse into high-conductivity zones, and therefore act as a continuing source of contamination to flowing groundwater. A review of the available literature on remediation of plume persistence due to back diffusion was conducted, and four sites were selected as case studies. Remediation at the sites included pump and treat, enhanced bioremediation, and thermal treatment. Our review highlights that a relatively small number of sites have been studied in sufficient detail to fully evaluate remediation of back diffusion; however, three general conclusions can be made based on the review. First, it is difficult to assess the significance of back diffusion without sufficient data to distinguish between multiple factors contributing to contaminant rebound and plume persistence. Second, high-resolution vertical samples are decidedly valuable for back diffusion assessment but are generally lacking in post-treatment assessments. Third, complete contaminant mass removal from back diffusion sources may not always be possible. Partial contaminant mass removal may nonetheless have potential benefits, similar to partial mass removal from primary DNAPL source zones.

Abstract
Bioaugmentation is a promising strategy for enhancing trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation in fractured rock. However, slow or incomplete biodegradation can lead to stalling at degradation byproducts such as 1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). Over the course of 7 years, we examined the response of groundwater microbial populations in a bioaugmentation test where an emulsified vegetable oil solution (EOS®) and a dechlorinating consortium (KB-1®), containing the established dechlorinator Dehalococcoides, were injected into a TCE-contaminated fractured rock aquifer. Indigenous microbial communities responded within 2 days to added substrate and outcompeted KB-1®, and over the years of monitoring, several other notable turnover events were observed. Concentrations of ethene, the end product in reductive dechlorination, had the strongest correlations (p< 0.05) with members of Candidatus Colwellbacteria but their involvement in reductive dechlorination is unknown and warrants further investigation. Dehalococcoides never exceeded 0.6% relative abundance of groundwater microbial communities, despite its previously presumed importance at the site. Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and methane were positively correlated with increasing ethene concentrations; however, concentrations of cis-DCE and VC remained high by the end of the monitoring period suggesting preferential enrichment of indigenous partial dechlorinators over bioaugmented complete dechlorinators. This study highlights the importance of characterizing in situ microbial populations to understand how they can potentially enhance or inhibit augmented TCE degradation.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are prevalent environmental pollutants, but bioremediation of PBDEs remains to be reported. Here we report accelerated remediation of a penta-BDE mixture in sediments by bioaugmentation with Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains CG1 and TZ50. Bioaugmentation with different amounts of each Dehalococcoides strain enhanced debromination of penta-BDEs compared with the controls. The sediment microcosm spiked with 6.8 × 106 cells/mL strain CG1 showed the highest penta-BDEs removal (89.9 ± 7.3%) to diphenyl ether within 60 days. Interestingly, co-contaminant tetrachloroethene (PCE) improved bioaugmentation performance, resulting in faster and more extensive penta-BDEs debromination using less bioinoculants, which was also completely dechlorinated to ethene by introducing D. mccartyi strain 11a. The better bioaugmentation performance in sediments with PCE could be attributed to the boosted growth of the augmented Dehalococcoides and capability of the PCE-induced reductive dehalogenases to debrominate penta-BDEs. Finally, ecological analyses showed that bioaugmentation resulted in more deterministic microbial communities, where the augmented Dehalococcoides established linkages with indigenous microorganisms but without causing obvious alterations of the overall community diversity and structure. Collectively, this study demonstrates that bioaugmentation with Dehalococcoides is a feasible strategy to completely remove PBDEs in sediments.

Abstract
Bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is impeded by difficulties in massively cultivating bioinoculant. Meanwhile, sewage sludge is rich in pollutant-degrading microorganisms and nutrients, drawing our attention to investigate their potential to be used as a supplement for bioremediation of PCBs. Here we reported extensive microbial reductive dechlorination of PCBs by waste activated sludge (WAS) and digestion sludge (DS), which were identified to harbor multiple putative organohalide-respiring bacteria (i.e., Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, Dehalobacter, and uncultivated Dehalococcoidia) and PCB reductive dehalogenase genes (i.e., pcbA4 and pcbA5). Consequently, amendment of 1-20% (w/w) fresh WAS/DS enhanced the attenuation of PCBs by 126-544% in a soil microcosm compared with the control soil, with the fastest dechlorination of PCBs being achieved when spiked with 20% fresh WAS. Notably, dechlorination pathways of PCBs were also changed by sludge amendment. Microbial and physicochemical analyses revealed that the enhanced dechlorination of PCBs by sludge amendment was largely attributed to the synergistic effects of sludge-derived nutrients, PCB-dechlorinating bacteria, and stimulated growth of beneficial microorganisms (e.g., fermenters). Finally, risk assessment of heavy metals suggests low potential ecological risks of sludge amendment in soil. Collectively, our study demonstrates that sewage sludge amendment could be an efficient, cost-effective and environment-friendly approach for in situ bioremediation of PCBs.

Abstract
In aquifers, acetylene (C2H2) is a product of abiotic degradation of trichloroethene (TCE) catalyzed by in situ minerals. C2H2 can, in turn, inhibit multiple microbial processes including TCE dechlorination and metabolisms that commonly support dechlorination, in addition to supporting the growth of acetylenotrophic microorganisms. Previously, C2H2 was shown to support TCE reductive dechlorination in synthetic, laboratory-constructed cocultures containing the acetylenotroph Pelobacter sp. strain SFB93 and Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain 195 or strain BAV1. In this study, we demonstrate TCE and perchloroethene (PCE) reductive dechlorination by a microbial community enriched from contaminated groundwater and amended with C2H2 as the sole electron donor and organic carbon source. The metagenome of the stable, enriched community was analyzed to elucidate putative community functions. A novel anaerobic acetylenotroph in the phylum Actinobacteria was identified using metagenomic analysis. These results demonstrate that the coupling of acetylenotrophy and reductive dechlorination can occur in the environment with native bacteria and broaden our understanding of biotransformation at contaminated sites containing both TCE and C2H2IMPORTANCE Understanding the complex metabolisms of microbial communities in contaminated groundwaters is a challenge. PCE and TCE are among the most common groundwater contaminants in the United States that, when exposed to certain minerals, exhibit a unique abiotic degradation pathway in which C2H2 is a product. C2H2 can act as both an inhibitor of TCE dechlorination and of supporting metabolisms and an energy source for acetylenotrophic bacteria. Here, we combine laboratory microcosm studies with computational approaches to enrich and characterize an environmental microbial community that couples two uncommon metabolisms, demonstrating unique metabolic interactions only yet reported in synthetic, laboratory-constructed settings. Using this comprehensive approach, we have identified the first reported anaerobic acetylenotroph in the phylum Actinobacteria, demonstrating the yet-undescribed diversity of this metabolism that is widely considered to be uncommon.

Abstract
Back diffusion of contaminants from secondary sources may hamper site remediation if it is not properly addressed in the remedial design. A review of all reported technologies and strategies that have been or could be applied to address plume persistence due to back diffusion as published in the peer-reviewed literature is provided. We classify these into four major categories. The first category consists of those approaches that do not include active measures to specifically address contamination in the low permeable zones (LPZs) and can therefore be considered passive LPZ management approaches. A disadvantage of these approaches is the long duration that may be required to meet acceptable endpoints; however, this allows degradation to potentially play a significant part even at modest rates. The remaining three categories all use approaches to specifically address contaminants in the LPZ. The second category consists of strategies that promote contaminant destruction through the forward diffusion of amendments into the LPZ. A variety of laboratory tests indicate concentration or flux reductions range from no improvement, to reductions as high as four orders-of-magnitude depending on the evaluation metric. The third category consists of strategies that alter physical characteristics of the secondary source, and includes viscosity modification, fracturing, and soil mixing. Each of these offer unique advantages and are often used to deliver one or more amendments for contaminant treatment. The final category consists of thermal and electrokinetic remediation, both less susceptible to permeability contrast limitations. However, they are not routinely used for secondary-source treatment.

Abstract
Methanol extractions for chloroethene analyses are conducted on rock samples from seven closely spaced coreholes in a mudstone aquifer that was subject to releases of the nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) form of trichloroethene (TCE) between the 1950's and 1990's. Although TCE concentration in the rock matrix over the length of coreholes is dictated by proximity to subhorizontal bedding plane fractures, elevated TCE concentrations in the rock matrix are not continuous along the most permeable bedding plane fractures. A complex configuration of subvertical and subhorizontal fractures appears to be responsible for the TCE distribution from prior TCE releases at land surface. Phase partitioning calculations of TCE in the rock matrix show that most TCE is adsorbed to solid surfaces because of the large fraction of organic carbon (foc) in the mudstone. Large TCE content in some cores indicate the likely presence of the NAPL form of TCE in the rock matrix. Using average values of porosity (n) and foc in phase partitioning calculations identifies a number of locations of possible NAPL occurrence in the rock matrix. Samples of mudstone analyzed for n and foc show variability in these properties over several orders of magnitude. Accounting for this variability in phase partitioning calculations identifies a probability of NAPL occurrence, PNAPL. The spatial variability of PNAPL along coreholes identifies a configuration that may be attributed to a TCE source zone that has evolved after emplacement due to NAPL dissolution, adsorption, and matrix diffusion.

Abstract
Halo-priming is an effective approach to initiate microbial reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at contaminated sites, of which the application has been restricted by introducing extra pollutants generated from priming organohalides. In this study, tetrachloroethene (PCE) was demonstrated to be an effective priming compound to enhance PCB dechlorination both in a PCB-dechlorinating pure culture and a river sediment microcosm. In the isolated PCB-dechlorinating Dehalococcoides mccartyi CG1, PCB dechlorination activities were stimulated by adding 0.05-0.2 mM PCE, and were inhibited when further increasing PCE concentrations. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that PCBs and PCE were synchronously dechlorinated in D. mccartyi CG1. In a river sediment microcosm, which was established to mimic in situ biostimulation of PCB dechlorination, 0.2 mM PCE could significantly improve para-chlorine removal from both PCB180 (2345-245-CB) and Aroclor 1260, and increase the relative abundance of indigenous dechlorinating Dehalococcoides for more than 20 times (from <0.1% to 2.3-5.0%). At the same time, PCE as a priming compound was completely dechlorinated to non-toxic ethene. Overall, this study provided an efficient strategy to stimulate in situ bioremediation of PCBs.
