text: Yo, check it out, here's the scientific scoop,
  We be talkin' 'bout production of 14CO2, whoop!
  From [1,2-14C] dichloroethene, known as DCE,
  Or [1,2-14C] vinyl chloride, VC, you see?
  
  In aquifer and stream-bed sediment, we did the test,
  Microcosms showin' how these compounds manifest.
  We wanted to see if microbes could degrade,
  DCE and VC, if that pathway was made.
  
  Under aerobic conditions, things were lookin' bright,
  Mineralization of DCE and VC, takin' flight.
  But as the conditions became more reducin',
  Mineralization started losin', no illusions.
  
  Fe(III)-reducing, SO4-reducing, and methanogenic,
  These were the conditions, yo, it ain't generic.
  Both sediments showed some mineralization game,
  Even under anaerobic conditions, they ain't tame.
  
  VC mineralization, let me break it down,
  It went from aerobic to Fe(III)-reducing, hold your crown.
  Then SO4-reducing, and lastly methanogenic,
  The order of decrease, it's all strategic.
  
  But yo, listen up, here's the kicker,
  VC mineralization was always quicker.
  Than DCE mineralization, under all conditions,
  That's the fact, no need for repetitions.
  
  And when it comes to DCE, aerobic's the key,
  Mineralization was at least twice, can't you see?
  Greater than under anaerobic, we had to confess,
  But recovery of 14CO2, it didn't impress.
  
  So there you have it, the results we found,
  Microbial mineralization, both underground.
  DCE and VC, they can be broken down,
  But under certain conditions, they may wear the crown.
