MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020 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 ...

Coexistence of two distinct Sulfurospirillum populations respiring tetrachloroethene - genomic and kinetic considerations [PDF]
, 2018 Two anaerobic bacterial consortia, each harboring a distinct Sulfurospirillum population, were derived from a 10 year old consortium, SL2, previously characterized for the stepwise dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE)

Microbial degradation of halogenated aromatics: molecular mechanisms and enzymatic reactions
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 67-86, January 2020., 2020 This minireview discusses the molecular mechanisms of the enzymatic reactions for degrading halogenated aromatics which naturally occur in various microorganisms. An in‐depth understanding of how microbes employ various enzymes in biodegradation can lead to the development of new biotechnologies via enzyme/cell/metabolic engineering or synthetic ...

The restricted metabolism of the obligate organohalide respiring bacterium Dehalobacter restrictus: lessons from tiered functional genomics [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 is an obligate organohalide respiring bacterium, which displays extremely narrow metabolic capabilities. It grows only via coupling energy conservation to anaerobic respiration of tetra- and trichloroethene with hydrogen as sole electron donor. Dehalobacter restrictus

Dichloromethane Fermentation by a Dehalobacter sp. in an Enrichment Culture Derived from Pristine River Sediment [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT Dichloromethane (DCM) as the sole substrate supported growth of a Dehalobacter sp. in an enrichment culture derived from noncontaminated river sediment. DCM was not reductively dechlorinated, and acetate was produced, indicating DCM fermentation and further suggesting Dehalobacter

Ecogenomics of microbial communities in bioremediation of chlorinated contaminated sites
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Organohalide compounds such as chloroethenes, chloroethanes and polychlorinated benzenes are among the most significant pollutants in the world. These compounds are often found in contamination plumes with other pollutants such as solvents, pesticides ...
