Modeling reveals a metabolic basis of competition among Dehalobacter strains during tandem chloroform and dichloromethane metabolism [PDF]
mSystemsSC05-UT is an anaerobic, heterogenous microbial enrichment culture that reduces chloroform to dichloromethane through reductive dechlorination, which it further mineralizes to carbon dioxide.

Sister Dehalobacter Genomes Reveal Specialization in Organohalide Respiration and Recent Strain Differentiation Likely Driven by Chlorinated Substrates [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The genomes of two closely related Dehalobacter strains (strain CF and strain DCA) were assembled from the metagenome of an anaerobic enrichment culture that reductively dechlorinates chloroform (CF), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and 1,1 ...
