FIG. 3.

Analysis of Dehalococcoides-containing cultures by use of the specific qPCR primers and probes. The bar graph depicts three pure Dehalococcoides (Dhc) cultures (BAV1, GT, and FL2), two SuZi Creek (SZ) sediment-derived consortia (enriched with VC or PCE), two 1,2-D-dechlorinating consortia, and the BDI consortium grown on TCE. The provided chlorinated electron acceptor is designated in parentheses. Each bar represents the average of two DNA extractions, each quantified in triplicate (n = 6). Note that the gene copy numbers are given on a log scale; therefore, the heights of the bars are not additive. Bac, Bacteria.
