Vitamin B12 as a source of variability in isotope effects for chloroform biotransformation by Dehalobacter [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen
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 ...

A bacterial chloroform reductive dehalogenase: purification and biochemical characterization

Microbial Biotechnology, 2017
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

Whole metagenome sequencing and 16S rRNA gene amplicon analyses reveal the complex microbiome responsible for the success of enhanced in-situ reductive dechlorination (ERD) of a tetrachloroethene-contaminated Superfund site. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The North Railroad Avenue Plume (NRAP) Superfund site in New Mexico, USA exemplifies successful chlorinated solvent bioremediation. NRAP was the result of leakage from a dry-cleaning that operated for 37 years.

Pangenomic insights into <i>Dehalobacter</i> evolution and acquisition of functional genes for bioremediation. [PDF]

Microb Genom
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 ...

Anaerobic Biodegradation of Chloroform and Dichloromethane with a Dehalobacter Enrichment Culture. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2022
Chloroform (CF) and dichloromethane (DCM) are among the more commonly identified chlorinated aliphatic compounds found in contaminated soil and groundwater. One way to address this problem is to add microbes to the subsurface that can biodegrade these compounds.

Complete genome sequence of Dehalobacter restrictus PER-K23T [PDF]

Standards in Genomic Sciences, 2013
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 trichloroethene.

Burning question: Rethinking organohalide degradation strategy for bioremediation applications. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
This review specifically focuses on the novel solution of organohalide bioremediation, proposing redox‐potential‐mediated hybrid bioprocesses tailored to the complexities of organohalide pollution. Abstract Organohalides are widespread pollutants that pose significant environmental hazards due to their high degree of halogenation and elevated redox ...
