Experimental results indicated that acetate acid was an efficient electron donor in affecting the biotransformability of PCE. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was the primary dehalogenation product, and small amounts of dichloroethylenes (DCEs) were also detected. No significant further DCEs degradation was detected.
