Bioremediation of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifers can be
hindered by high contaminant concentrations and acids generated during
remediation. Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective,
tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to
formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than
engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer
coefficients is lacking. To address this …
