Figure 5.

(A) Total concentrations of HCB dechlorination products (1,3- and 1,4-DCB and 1,3,5-TCB) in different co-cultures of D. mccartyi strain CBDB1 with and without GAC after 70 days of incubation. Data points are averages of triplicate cultures. Error bars represent the standard deviation (n = 3). (B) Quantification of 16S rRNA gene copies in syntrophic co-cultures of D. mccartyi strain CBDB1 and partners with and without GAC after 70 days of incubation. All cultures were provided with cyanocobalamin, Ti (III) citrate, and without exogenous H₂. Data points are averages of triplicate cultures. Error bars represent the standard deviation.
