Works
Microbes and a newly developed technology have for the first time successfully cleaned up carbon tetrachloride from an aquifer. The aquifer, which used to provide drinking water to residents before it was contaminated, lies beneathe the town of Schoolcraft in southwestern Michigan. This web site describes the discovery of the amazing microbe, Pseudomonas stutzeri strain KC, and how scientists and engineers helped it successfully, inexpensively and rapidly remove carbon tetrachloride from the aquifer. |
