Abstract
Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum grew autotrophically and Desulfobacterium autotrophicum grew heterotrophically in the presence of one of several highly chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons in the low μM range. M. thermoautotrophicum transformed a portion of 1,2-dichloroethane, and ethene was identified as the product. D. autotrophicum also displayed substrate specificity; it reduced tetrachloromethane quantitatively to trichloromethane and dichloromethane, and converted 1,1,1-trichloroethane to 1,1-dichloroethane.
