Heterologous Expression of Active Dehalobacter Respiratory Reductive Dehalogenases in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Understanding microbial reductive dehalogenation is important to refine the global halogen cycle and to improve bioremediation of halogenated contaminants; however, studies of the family of enzymes responsible are limited.

Two distinct <i>Dehalobacter</i> metagenome-assembled genomes from anaerobic chloroform and dichloromethane degrading consortia. [PDF]
Here we present two metagenomes and two Dehalobacter metagenome-assembled genomes from subcultures of an anaerobic chloroform and dichloromethane degrading microbial community used for bioremediation. Our objective was to assemble and curate the genome(s)

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

Diverse reductive dehalogenases are associated with Clostridiales-enriched microcosms dechlorinating 1,2-dichloroethane [PDF]
The achievement of successful biostimulation of active microbiomes for the cleanup of a polluted site is strictly dependent on the knowledge of the key microorganisms equipped with the relevant catabolic genes responsible for the degradation process.

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 ...

Direct loop mediated isothermal amplification on filters for quantification of Dehalobacter in groundwater. [PDF]
Nucleic acid amplification of biomarkers is increasingly used to monitor microbial activity and assess remedial performance in contaminated aquifers. Previous studies described the use of filtration, elution, and direct isothermal amplification (i.e.

Bibliometrics and Visualization Analysis of Three Obligate Organohalide Respiring Bacteria Genera: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) facilitate the reductive dehalogenation of toxic halogenated compounds in the environment, which supports their growth and proliferation. Research conducted on OHRB has achieved notable advancements.
