Abstract: | Summary Cometabolic dechlorination of chlorinated paraffins was demonstrated in the presence of n-hexadecane by bacterial strains (HK-3, HK-6, HK-8, and HK-10) isolated from soil samples.Eleven per cent of chlorine of chlorinated paraffin-150 (CP-150) was released by strain HK-3. The mixed culture of strain HK-3, catalyzing the dechlorination of terminal chlorine of chloroalkane, and strain H15-4, capable of releasing the chlorine from 2-chlorinated fatty acids, dechlorinated CP-150 up to 13%. The mixed culture of the four strains (HK-3, HK-6, HK-8, and HK-10) performed the dechlorination of CP-150 by cometabolism in a jar fermentor pH at 7.0. The amount of chloride released from the chlorinated paraffins tested was in the range of 15–57%.The activated sludge acclimatized to n-hexadecane for 60 days showed a little dechlorination activity to CP-150. |
