Description:
In an international conference, microbiologists from five countries presented results of research into the anaerobic dehalogenation of compounds of environmental interest being performed at selected universities, government agencies, and private companies. he conference, held from August 30 to September 4, 1992, in Athens, GA, was sponsor6d by the American Society for Microbiology. his document provides abstracts of the 33 papers presented at the conference sessions addressing the environmental fate of chlorinated organic chemicals; the anaerobic dechlorination of chlorinated phenols; the dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls; the dehalogenation of aliphatic compounds; the abiotic dechlorination of porphryns, corrins, and non-tetrapyrrbles; the kinetics of dehalogenations; the microbial physiology of dechlorinating systems; and the hydrolytic dehalogenation of compounds. esearch results were provided for a variety of compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls, pentachloro-dibenzodioxin, polychlorinated phenols, 2,4-dichlorophenol, aroclors, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrachloroethene, methyl chloride, perchloroethylene, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and pentachlorodibenzofuran.
