✦ Synopsis

A mixed, stable microbial community, obtained by continuous enrichment of a sediment core using 4-chlorosalicylic acid as sole source of carbon and energy, contained 10 different bacterial species, including Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. mendocina and P. cichorii. The members of the community were grown separately on various chlorinated compounds which were readily degraded.
