Bicarbonate (HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>) is the natural buffer in groundwater and the buffer of choice in the laboratory and at contaminated sites undergoing biological treatment with organohalide respiring microorganisms. However, HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>also serves as the electron acceptor for hydrogenotrophic methanogens and hydrogenotrophic homoacetogens, two microbial groups competing with organohalide respirers for hydrogen (H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>). We studied the effect of HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>as a buffering agent and the effect of HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>-consuming reactions in a range of concentrations (2.5-30 mM) with an initial pH of 7.5 in H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-fed TCE reductively dechlorinating communities containing<jats:italic>Dehalococcoides<\/jats:italic>, hydrogenotrophic methanogens, and hydrogenotrophic homoacetogens.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rate differences in TCE dechlorination were observed as a result of added varying HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>concentrations due to H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-fed electrons channeled towards methanogenesis and homoacetogenesis and pH increases (up to 8.7) from biological HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>consumption. Significantly faster dechlorination rates were noted at all HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>concentrations tested when the pH buffering was improved by providing 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) as an additional buffer. Electron balances and quantitative PCR revealed that methanogenesis was the main electron sink when the initial HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>concentrations were 2.5 and 5 mM, while homoacetogenesis was the dominant process and sink when 10 and 30 mM HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>were provided initially.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study reveals that HCO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>is an important variable for bioremediation of chloroethenes as it has a prominent role as an electron acceptor for methanogenesis and homoacetogenesis.
