Evaluation of Chitin as an Electron Donor and Nutrient Source for Stimulating the in Situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents

Abstract

dc:description

This work indicates that chitin may have several advantages over conventional, liquid electron donor injection for the in situ bioremediation of chloroethenes, and raises interesting questions on microbial community structure and motility in groundwater systems.
