Abstract
⺠This study investigated the potential for biostimulation of 1,2-dibromoethane in contaminated groundwater using a molecular approach. ⺠Microcosm experiments diligently mimicked in situ conditions. ⺠The addition of jet fuel (50 mg/l) yielded the highest biodegradation of EDB. ⺠Jet fuel addition led to highest bacterial numbers compared with other amendments. ⺠Members of genera associated with monooxygenase dominated all microcosms. ⺠Gene abundances for monoxygenase were significantly higher in jet fuel treatments.
