Abstract: | Cultures able to dechlorinate cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) were selected with ethene (3–20%, v/v) as the sole source of carbon and energy. One mixed culture (K20) could degrade
cDCE (400 μmol l–1) or vinyl chloride (100 μmol l–1) in the presence of ethene (≤ 80 μmol l–1 and ≤ 210 μmol l–1, respectively). This culture consists of at least five bacterial strains. All five strains were able to degrade cDCE cometabolically in pure culture. The mixed culture K20 was highly tolerant against cDCE (up to 6 mmol l–1 in the liquid phase). Degradation of cDCE (200 μmol l–1) was not affected by the presence of trichloroethene (100 μmol l–1) or tetrachloroethene (100 μmol l–1). Transformation yields (Ty, defined as unit mass of chloroethene degraded per unit mass of ethene consumed) of the mixed culture K20 were relatively
high (0.51 and 0.61 for cDCE and vinyl chloride, respectively). The yield for cDCE with ethene as auxiliary substrate was ninefold higher than any values reported with methane or methane/formate as auxiliary
substrate. The viability of the cells of the mixed culture K20 (0.3 mg of cells ml–1) was unaffected by the transformation of ≤ 200 μmol l–1
cDCE in 300 min.
