Biodegradation Pathways Biodegradation is a biologically driven process that
relies on microorganisms to metabolize a hydrocarbon substrate. In general, the
hydrocarbon substrate serves as the food source for microbial growth and/or ...

An interesting remedial approach can be suggested based on the amendment of
suitable substrates to ellicit a more rapid dehalogenation response. In the
process of cross-acclimation, a chemical analog that can be relatively easily
