Here, we first define the substrate, then discuss in detail the factors that contribute
to the biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soils, and, finally, how these
contaminated environments can be cleaned up using bioremedia- tion
technologies. 2.1.

Rates of reductive dehalogena- tion were compared with a control 5 minute
incubation conducted under an atmosphere of 100% argon. The data indicated
that reductive dechlorination is strongly inhibited by oxygen. This is not surprising
