## Abstract A special microbial consortium adapted to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons at limited availability of oxygen, transformed benzene, a highly toxic and carcinogenic contaminant of groundwater and soil, at low initial dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of 0.05–2 mg/L. The employed initial
A sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a creek sediment and capable of metabolizing TNT (2,4, using sulfate and nitrate as electron acceptors was tentatively characterized as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain A. The isolate was unable to use TNT as the sole source of carbon. TNT degradation was
