These results indicate that microbial degradation can continue to contribute to the attenuation of MTBE in ground water under wintertime, low‐temperature conditions.</p></div></div> application/pdf 10.1111/j.1745-6592.2006.00075.x en Wiley Low-temperature MTBE biodegradation in aquifer sediments with a history of low, seasonal ground water temperatures article
