Abstract

A mixture of bacteria, having a methane-utilizing ability, was separated from a bioreactor supplied with air and methane gas. The bioreactor was operated to treat trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated groundwater. The mixture was composed of an obligate methane-utilizing bacterium and a heterotroph, identified as Methylomonas methanica and Pseudomonas sp., respectively. The mixed culture of these two strains removed TCE. In addition, it appeared that a cooperative metabolic interaction of these strains enabled Meth.methanica to maintain the TCE degradation ability.
