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. Characterization of reductive dehalogenase enzymes has largely eluded researchers due to the lack of a reliable and high-yielding ...

A Novel Dehalobacter Species Is Involved in Extensive 4,5,6,7-Tetrachlorophthalide Dechlorination [PDF]
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was the enrichment and phylogenetic identification of bacteria that dechlorinate 4,5,6,7-tetrachlorophthalide (commercially designated “fthalide”), an effective fungicide for rice blast disease. Sequential transfer culture of a paddy soil with lactate and fthalide produced a soil-free enrichment

Reductive Dechlorination of 2,3-Dichloroaniline by <i>Dehalobacter</i> in an Anaerobic Enrichment Culture. [PDF]
2,3-dichloroaniline (2,3-DCA) has widespread use in chemical manufacturing and remains a persistent groundwater contaminant. To better understand the pathway and kinetics of its reductive dechlorination, we conducted a laboratory kinetic experiment using an anaerobic enrichment culture dominated by Dehalobacter.

Abstract Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants that substantially influence biological element cycling in natural ecosystems. Plastics are also prevalent in sewage, and they accumulate in waste‐activated sludge (WAS). However, the impacts of plastics on the methanogenic digestion of WAS and the underpinning microbiome remain ...

In this article, the tolerance of Anabaena sp. to lindane was studied as well as the expression of its potential lin genes. Our goal was to obtain information to create strategies for lindane bioremediation and also to find the induction of genes in the presence of lindane that can be used in the development of whole‐cell biosensors.

Role of Microbes and Nanomaterials in the Removal of Pesticides from Wastewater
Pesticides are a class of xenobiotic compounds that are recalcitrant and show persistence in the environment for a longer period of time. Research studies have linked their potential for mutagenicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity. The accumulation of pesticides in water sources due to runoff from agricultural lands has posed a serious threat to ...

Bar-coded pyrosequencing reveals the responses of PBDE-degrading microbial communities to electron donor amendments. [PDF]
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) can be reductively degraded by microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. However, little is known about the effect of electron donors on microbial communities involved in PBDEs degradation.
