Methane and propane oxidizers were capable of degrading both saturated and unsaturated chlorinated organics (TCE, CF, and 1,2\u2010DCA). Toluene and phenol oxidizers degraded TCE but were not able to degrade CF, 1,2\u2010DCA, or other saturated organics. None of the cultures tested were able to degrade perchloroethylene (PCE) or carbon tetrachloride (CC<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>). For the four cultures tested, degradation of each of the chlorinated organics resulted in cell inactivation due to product toxicity. In all cases, the toxic products were rapidly depleted, leaving no toxic residues in solution. Among the four tested cultures, the resting cells of methane oxidizers exhibited the highest transformation capacities (<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>c<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub>) for TCE, CF, and 1,2\u2010DCA. The <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>c<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> for each chlorinated organic was observed to be inversely proportional to the chlorine carbon ratio (Cl\/C). The addition of low concentrations of growth substrate or some catabolic intermediates enhanced TCE transformation capacities and degradation rates, presumably due to the regeneration of reducing energy (NADH); however, addition of higher concentrations of most amendments reduced TCE transformation capacities and degradation rates. Reducing energy limitations and amendment toxicity may significantly affect <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>c<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> measurements, causing a masking of the toxicity associated with chlorinated organic degradation. \u00a9 1995 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bit.260450509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,29]],"date-time":"2004-12-29T19:07:03Z","timestamp":1104347223000},"page":"440-449","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":118,"title":["Transformation capacities of chlorinated organics by mixed cultures enriched on methane, propane, toluene, or phenol"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Hsiao\u2010Lung","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Alvarez\u2010Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.57.1.228-235.1991","article-title":"Effects of toxicity, aeration, and reductant supply on trichloroethylene transformation by a mixed methanotrophic culture","volume":"57","author":"Alvarez\u2010Cohen L.","year":"1991","journal-title":"Appl.
