Abstract
The toxicity of a mixture of polychlorinated aliphatic compounds towards an unacclimated methanogenic consortium was assayed in carrier-free, continuously-stirred batch experiments. Results obtained indicate that a 50 % inhibition of methanogenesis occurs at 3.3 mg toxic mixture per litre mixed liquor and that at 100 mg toxic mixture per litre mixed liquor, the inhibition of methanogenesis is complete.
