TI  - Effect of specific inhibitors on the anaerobic reductive dechlorination of 
      2,4,6-trichlorophenol by a stable methanogenic consortium.
PG  - 197-203
AB  - The transformation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) into 4-chlorophenol (4CP) was 
      studied using a stable methanogenic enrichment culture derived from an anaerobic 
      fixed bed reactor. Using acetate as a growth substrate, different inhibitors of 
      methanogenesis exhibited distinct effects on TCP dechlorination. Whereas 
      reductive dechlorination activity was not affected by 2% ethylene in the gas 
      phase, 25 mM bromoethanesulfonic acid (BESA) had a direct inhibitory effect on 
      this process. The choice of BESA as a specific inhibitor for identifying the 
      subpopulations involved in reductive dechlorination of chloroaromatics is thus 
      questionable. Inhibitors of sulfate reduction such as molybdate (20 mM) and 
      selenate (20 mM) had a direct inhibitory effect on reductive dechlorination 
      independently of the presence of sulfate in the medium supplemented with acetate 
      as growth substrate. Consequently much more care must also be taken with these 
      inhibitors to prove that reductive chlorination is coupled to sulfate reduction.
