Community and functional stability in a working bioreactor degrading 1,4-dioxane
As an environmental contaminant, 1,4-dioxane poses risks for water quality and human health. This study used high-throughput sequencing to describe microbial taxa, genomes, enzymes, and potential horizontal gene transfer mechanisms associated with a functioning groundwater biological treatment system located on a 1,4-dioxane-impacted US EPA Superfund site.
