| Abstract | In recent years, different approaches have been attempted to study the microbial transformation of micropollutants in soil and aquifer systems, namely (i) field studies; (ii) investigations on a laboratory scale in which field situations are imitated, by using percolation columns, saturated flow aquifer columns or microcosms; and (iii) with pure and mixed cultures of microorganisms. Using alkylated and halogenated compounds as examples, this paper qualitatively and quantitatively compares field data with laboratory results. Pure cultures studies are discussed with respect tot he findings in laboratory soil systems. Some data are also presented about the survival of a pure culture which degrades halogenated aromatic compounds in systems mimicking natural conditions. |
