Abstract
Methods for bioremediation of environmental media contaminated with at least one perchlorate compound. A Pseudomonas consortium of P. putida strain B, P. putida strain E, and P. fluorescens strain G was provided to contaminated water, soil, etc. under conditions to result in bioremediated water, soil, etc. In embodiments, the method is used ex-situ, e.g., in a reactor vessel, or is used in-situ.
Claims20
A method for decreasing an amount of at least one perchlorate compound in a contaminated environmental medium, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) contacting an effective amount of a consortium culture of Pseudomonas putida strain B, Pseudomonas putida strain E, and Pseudomonas fluorescens strain G with the contaminated environmental medium;
- and
- (b) providing a carbohydrate to the consortium-contacted medium of step (a) under conditions that result in a decreased amount of the at least one perchlorate compound in the environmental medium.
