Abstract
The microbial transformations of dimethyl- and dichlorobenzenes were studied in laboratory aquifer columns simulating saturated flow conditions typical for a river water/groundwater infiltration system. Both compounds were biotransformed under aerobic conditions; dimethylbenzenes were transformed faster than the chlorinated analogues. Evidence demonstrates that dimethylbenzenes are degraded by denitrifying bacteria under anaerobic conditions.
