Trichloromethane dechlorination by a novel Dehalobacter sp. strain 8M reveals a third contrasting C and Cl isotope fractionation pattern within this genus [PDF]
Trichloromethane (TCM) is a pollutant frequently detected in contaminated aquifers, and only four bacterial strains are known to respire it. Here, we obtained a novel Dehalobacter strain capable of transforming TCM to dichloromethane, which was ...

Two distinct <i>Dehalobacter</i> metagenome-assembled genomes from anaerobic chloroform and dichloromethane degrading consortia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT 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) of

Field Test of a Bioelectrochemical Membrane-Less Reactor for Chlorinated Aliphatic Hydrocarbon and Nitrate Removal from a Contaminated Groundwater. [PDF]
This study evaluates a membrane‐less bioelectrochemical reactor in a real groundwater remediation scenario, targeting chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons and nitrate contamination. Electron supply via graphite granules biocathode stimulates reductive dechlorination and nitrate reduction, despite competing processes like sulfate reduction and ...

Microbial Enzymes Used in Bioremediation
Emerging pollutants in nature are linked to various acute and chronic detriments in biotic components and subsequently deteriorate the ecosystem with serious hazards. Conventional methods for removing pollutants are not efficient; instead, they end up with the formation of secondary pollutants.

Characterization of a Highly Enriched Microbial Consortium Reductively Dechlorinating 2,3-Dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol and the Corresponding cprA Genes from River Sediment [PDF]
Anaerobic reductive dechlorination of 2,3-dichlorophenol (2,3DCP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6TCP) was investigated in microcosms from River Nile sediment.

Stoichiometry of the Gene Products From the Tetrachloroethene Reductive Dehalogenase Operon pceABCT
Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process that uses halogenated compounds, e.g., tetrachloroethene (PCE), as terminal electron acceptors.

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. no DNA extraction and purification) as a field-able means to quantify Dehalococcoides spp.

Organohalides are recalcitrant pollutants that have been responsible for substantial contamination of soils and groundwater. Organohalide-respiring bacteria (ORB) provide a potential solution to remediate contaminated sites, through their ability to use ...

Growth of Dehalobacter and Dehalococcoides spp. during Degradation of Chlorinated Ethanes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mixed anaerobic microbial subcultures enriched from a multilayered aquifer at a former chlorinated solvent disposal facility in West Louisiana were examined to determine the organism(s) involved in the dechlorination of the toxic compounds 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane (1,1,2-TCA) to ethene ...

Organohalide‐respiring bacteria need to sense halogenated hydrocarbons in the environment to induce the production of the enzymatic machinery required for their utilization. Identification and characterization of biological sensors for organohalides, such as the two‐component system described here, could guide synthetic approaches for monitoring ...
