A. A positive Gene-Trac-VC test indicates the presence of the gene that degrades vinyl chloride efficiently. This indicates that the strain of Dehalococcoides present is less likely to cause long-term accumulation of highly toxic vinyl chloride than an organism that does not have this gene (tests negative).
