New Publication on 1,4-dioxane bioremediation at the Lowry Landfill

The Lowry Landfill is an EPA Superfund site that operates a very unique microbial solution for cleaning up contaminated groundwater. The Biological Treatment System uses natural microbes to degrade 1,4-dioxane, and is a system that is pretty much unique in the US. Thanks in large part to the hard work of Jessie Romero, MS, we have a new publication out that gets us closer to a mechanistic understanding of how the system works, thanks to shotgun metagenomics and marker gene sequencing. In addition to data generated and analyzed by Jessie and the rest of the co-authors, this work also includes data generated by our first year General Biology students here at CU Denver!
