description Abstract Chloroethenes are widely used as solvent in the metal industry and the dry cleaning industry, but their spillage into soil and groundwater due to improper handling has negatively impacted human health. Bioremediation using microorganisms is one of the technologies to clean up soil and groundwater contaminated with chloroethenes. In this study, we examined the bioremediation of chloroethene-contaminated soil using wine pomace extract (WPE). WPE is a liquid containing seven major carboxylic acids and other substances extracted from grape pomace produced in winemaking. WPE clearly promoted the anaerobic bioremediation of chloroethenes. In the tetrachloroethene (PCE) degradation test that used fractions derived from WPE, the water-eluted fraction containing l-lactic acid, l-tartaric acid, and others promoted the dechlorination of PCE, whereas the methanol-eluted fraction containing mainly syringic acid did not. In another PCE degradation test that used l-lactic acid, l-tartaric acid, and syringic acid test solutions, l-lactic acid and l-tartaric acid enhanced the dechlorination of PCE, but syringic acid did not. The results suggest that l-lactic acid and l-tartaric acid in WPE function as hydrogen donors in the anaerobic microbial degradation of chloroethene. This technology realizes environmental remediation through the effective use of food by-products. Graphical Abstract
