Cultures containing Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 are disclosed which decontaminate halogenated aromatic compounds by removing at least one halogen group from the aromatic compound. The addition of a simple halogenated compound to a contaminated material is also provided for stimulating or supporting the growth of a dehalogenating organism thereby enhancing the bioremediation process of a contaminated material.
