Abstract
⺠Use of γ-hexachlorocyclohexane as a terminal electron acceptor was demonstrated. ⺠H2 served as the electron donor for an enrichment culture that dechlorinated γ-HCH. ⺠H2 consumption for acetogenesis and methanogenesis stopped in HEPES media. ⺠Addition of vancomycin significantly slowed the rate of γ-HCH dechlorination. ⺠Previously identified chlororespiring microbes were not detected in the enrichment.
