This study was conducted to assess the potential for biodegradation of organic compounds by anaerobic acidogenic organisms. The reducing environment present in acidogenic systems is conducive to the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated organic compounds, such as pentachlorophenol (PCP). Both batch and continuous reactors were used to evaluate the effects of PCP on anaerobic acidogenesis and to assess its potential for acidogenic biodegradation. It was determined that up to 7.0 mg.L PCP did not inhibit acetate formation, that PCP was degraded during acidogenesis, and that acclimation to lower doses was beneficial for acidogenic degradation of PCP.
