Abstract
⺠The study evaluated the biodegradation of ethylene dibromide under natural and biostimulated conditions of EDB-contaminated aquifer. ⺠EDB degraded anaerobic in situ. ⺠EDB did not degrade aerobic in situ but degraded in presence of methane. ⺠Lack of EDB degradation for aerobic groundwater explains why EDB becomes persistent after long time exposure of EDB. ⺠Aerobic cometabolism with methane injection has potential for the field bioremediation of EDB.
