Microbial degradation of halogenated aromatics: molecular mechanisms and enzymatic reactions
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 importance of Dehalobacter species in bioremediation as dedicated degraders of chlorinated organics has been well recognized. However, still little is known about Dehalobacter's full genomic repertoires, including the genes involved in dehalogenation.

Ecogenomics of microbial communities in bioremediation of chlorinated contaminated sites
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 ...

Previously, we demonstrated the reductive dehalogenation of dichlorobenzene (DCB) isomers to monochlorobenzene (MCB), and MCB to benzene in sediment microcosms derived from a chlorobenzene-contaminated site.

Effect of Moderate Heat on TCE Reductive Dechlorination Rates in Groundwater
Abstract Low‐temperature heating (in the mesophilic range of ~15 to 40 °C) of contaminated aquifers offers the prospect of increasing the rates for biotic and abiotic treatment of volatile organic compounds. Thermal In Situ Sustainable Remediation (TISR®) is one of the approaches available to implement low temperature heating.

Impact of Anaerobic Cold Storage on Subseafloor Microbial Communities
Abstract Sediment cores recovered from the deep sea often cannot be sampled for microbiological analysis immediately due to the need for core splitting and processing for subsequent onboard measurements and core storage. Consequently, sections are often stored at 4°C under anaerobic conditions for extended periods.

Bioaugmentation with Distinct Dehalobacter Strains Achieves Chloroform Detoxification in Microcosms
Chloroform (CF) is a widespread groundwater contaminant not susceptible to aerobic degradation. Under anoxic conditions, CF can undergo abiotic and cometabolic transformation but detoxification is generally not achieved.

Dehalobacter sp. strain TeCB1 was isolated from groundwater near Sydney, Australia, that is polluted with a range of organochlorines. The isolated strain is able to grow by reductive dechlorination of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene to 1,3- and 1 ...
