A pair of environmental engineers at the National University of Singapore has found that many bacteria in common sewer water are able to detoxify tetrachloroethene. In their study published in the journal ACS ES&T Engineering, Guofang Xu and Jianzhong He explored whether microbes in sewage might be able to break down chlorinated solvents, which could make detoxifying such water easier.
