Abstract excerpt
The effects of organic nutrients and cocultures on substrate removal by and competitive behavior of 1,2-dichloroethane-degrading bacteria were investigated. Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 needed biotin for optimal growth on 1,2-dichloroethane. In continuous culture, dilution of biotin to a concentration below 0.2 nM resulted in washout. Growth could be restored by inoculation with the 2-chloroethanol utilizer...
