Abstract
The activity of microorganisms has a significant impact on the chemical composition of groundwaters (Chapelle, 1993). Microbial processes in both shallow (Madsen, 1995) and deep (Lovley and Chapelle, 1995) pristine aquifers have recently been reviewed in detail. The purpose of this chapter is to summarize recent research on the microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of contaminated aquifers.
