... The advantages of anaerobic digestion technology in organic solid waste treatments for bioenerg y recovery have been demonstrated worldwide [35]. In addition, treatment with a microbial consortium has been shown to improve biodegradability and increase methane production from cotton stalks, for example [58]. The microorganisms that carry out the degradation reactions in each phase differ widely in their physiology, nutritional requirements, growth kinetics, and environmental sensitivity [59]. ...

... Using the HXD model to test traditional bioremediation has yielded some successful results using different microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Cruz et al., 2021). Additionally, Yuan et al. (2013) achieved an HXD biodegradation of 53.7% using a bacterial consortium with a constant voltage gradient of 1.3 V cm -1 for 42 days in pristine soil; and Wang et al. (2016) used alternative bioremediation and electrokinetic technologies with soil bacteria to obtain 78.5% HXD degradation after 45 days of treatment. While it is true BER has been successful in some laboratory-scale experiments, several parameters need to be explored further to create a coherent set of recommendations for successful BER use in the field. ...

... Finally, 10 7 CFU g −1 soil of PB and AS were added into each experimental group, respectively. Then, the soil was irrigated with deionized water to maintain moisture content at 20-25 wt% (Li et al. 2016). All the soils were incubated at 25 ℃ in the dark for 63 days and sampled every 7 days. ...

... A low-molecular-weight organic acid can release protons (H + ) when dissolved in water, depending on the pH of the solution. CA can be fully protonated only at pH > 7. The release of H + from CA can change the chemical species of the metals in the crust (Li et al. 2017). H + reacts with the main components of the crust, including MgO, MgCO 3 , Mg(OH) 2 , and 4MgCO 3 ·Mg(OH) 2 ·4H 2 O, and Mg 2+ is released from solid forms. ...

... It has been shown that the application of a current modifies the metabolic responses in microorganisms, causing acceleration of biodegradation (Sarankumar et al., 2020). Furthermore, when used for petroleum-contaminated soil, BER increases bioavailability of petroleum-derived pollutants, thus making it less recalcitrant to microbial degradation (Fan et al., 2017). ...

... 29−31 The biodehalogenation activity was reflected either by the remaining TCE in soils after EK treatment or by the functional gene copies (i.e., Dhc 16S rRNA, vcrA). 28,30,32 In all, the knowledge regarding the influence of EK on microbial communities and biodehalogenation activity is still preliminary. As a fundamental aspect for understanding EK-Bio, the spatio-temporal variations of indigenous microbial communities and biodehalogenation activity of the background soil matrix remain unknown, particularly for the treatment of widespread CEs in a low-permeability matrix. ...
