    Researchers funded by SRP developed a new biocatalyst technology to clean up chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs), a large class of persistent groundwater pollutants. The technology, created by Microvi Biotechnologies, Inc., stabilizes a pollutant-degrading bacteria inside a porous polymer, enabling the rapid breakdown of several hard-to-treat contaminants.
