Abstract Fermentative and methanogenic bacteria have been found repeatedly as important members of microbial flora in anoxic zones of the subsurface—in pristine as well as in contaminated groundwater aquifers. These bacteria, which together with obligate proton reducers form complex methanogenic communities, are significant as decomposers of organic matter under conditions of exogenous electron acceptor depletion. Their metabolic activity has been demonstrated in laboratory microcosms derived from aquifer material, and also in the subsurface in situ. Methanogenic communities have been shown to transform numerous organic pollutants, or even to completely degrade these compounds with the production of carbon dioxide and methane. Depending on the chemical structure of the pollutant, such a compound can be used as an electron donor and a carbon/energy source for fermentative microorganisms (which is typically the case with highly reduced compounds); alternatively, a highly oxidized pollutant can be used as a ...
