## Abstract An anaerobic microcosm set up with aquifer material from a 1,1,2,2‐tetrachloroethane (TeCA) contaminated site and amended with butyrate showed a complete TeCA dechlorination to ethene. A structure analysis of the microbial community was performed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (F
