Reductive dechlorination in the energy metabolism of anaerobic bacteria [PDF]
Within the last few decades, several anaerobic bacteria have been isolated which are able to reductively dechlorinate chlorinated aliphatic and aromatic compounds at catabolic rates.

Assimilative and co-metabolic degradation of chloral hydrate by bacteria and their bioremediation potential [PDF]
Although the bacterial degradation of chloral hydrate (CH) has been recognized for several decades, its degradation pathway by assimilation has not been demonstrated.

This review aims to comprehensively address recent degradation techniques (physical, chemical and biological) of halogenated waste polymers with a prime focus on thermal degradation techniques. Exploiting various metal oxides during co‐pyrolysis is deemed a viable solution for recycling halogenated polymeric waste.

Reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene by a stepwise catalysis of different organohalide respiring bacteria and reductive dehalogenases [PDF]
The enrichment culture SL2 dechlorinating tetrachloroethene (PCE) to ethene with strong trichloroethene (TCE) accumulation prior to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) formation was analyzed for the presence of organohalide respiring bacteria and reductive ...

The proton/electron ration of the menaquinone-dependent electron transport from dihydrogen to tetrachloroethene in "Dehalobacter restrictus" [PDF]
In the anaerobic respiration chain of "Dehalobacter restrictus," dihydrogen functioned as the electron donor and tetrachloroethene (PCE) functioned as the electron acceptor. The hydrogenase faced the periplasm, and the PCE reductase faced the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. Both activities were associated with the cytoplasmic membrane.

Biodegradation of chloroethene compounds under microoxic conditions
The authors examined the biodegradation of chloroethene compounds under microoxic conditions. The results indicated that partial reductive and cometabolic biodegradation of chloroethene compounds occurred concurrently. The findings of this study have significant implications for further research on chloroethene compound biodegradation, particularly in ...
