Vitamin B12 as a source of variability in isotope effects for chloroform biotransformation by Dehalobacter [PDF]
Carbon and chlorine isotope effects for biotransformation of chloroform by different microbes show significant variability. Reductive dehalogenases (RDase) enzymes contain different cobamides, affecting substrate preferences, growth yields, and ...

Comparative proteogenomics reveals ecological and evolutionary insights into the organohalide-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus strain T [PDF]
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and chloroform (CF) are persistent groundwater contaminants because of their widespread industrial use as organic solvents and improper disposal in the past.

Complete genome sequence of Dehalobacter restrictus PER-K23T [PDF]
Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 (DSM 9455) is the type strain of the species Dehalobacter restrictus. D. restrictus strain PER-K23 grows by organohalide respiration, coupling the oxidation of H2 to the reductive dechlorination of tetra- or ...

Pangenomic insights into <i>Dehalobacter</i> evolution and acquisition of functional genes for bioremediation. [PDF]
Dehalobacter is a genus of organohalide-respiring bacteria that is recognized for its fastidious growth using reductive dehalogenases (RDases). In the SC05 culture, however, a Dehalobacter population also mineralizes dichloromethane (DCM) produced by chloroform dechlorination using the mec cassette, just downstream of its active ...

Deciphering reductive dehalogenase specificity through targeted mutagenesis of chloroalkane reductases [PDF]
Reductive dehalogenases (RDases) are essential in the anaerobic degradation of various organohalide contaminants. This family of enzymes has broad sequence diversity, but high structural conservation. There have been few studies assessing how RDase amino

A bacterial chloroform reductive dehalogenase: purification and biochemical characterization
Summary We report herein the purification of a chloroform (CF)‐reducing enzyme, TmrA, from the membrane fraction of a strict anaerobe Dehalobacter sp. strain UNSWDHB to apparent homogeneity with an approximate 23‐fold increase in relative purity compared

Developing an E. coli heterologous expression system for characterizing a marine debrominase from Roseobacter sp. [PDF]
Reductive dehalogenases (RDases) are a family of enzymes that employ a cobamide cofactor and two iron-sulfur clusters to selectively cleave carbon-halogen bonds.
