Popis: Chlorinated ethenes (CEs) are common and persistent contaminants of soil and groundwater. Their degradation is mostly driven by a process of bacterial reductive dechlorination (also called organohalide respiration) in anaerobic conditions. This study summarizes the outcomes of the long-term in-situ application of glycerol for the enhanced reductive dechlorination of CEs on a highly contaminated site. Glycerol injection resulted in an almost immediate increase in the abundance of fermentative Firmicutes, which produce essential sources of carbon (acetate) and electrons (H
