Dehalococcoides as a Potential Biomarker Evidence for Uncharacterized Organohalides in Environmental Samples [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The massive production and improper disposal of organohalides resulted in worldwide contamination in soil and water. However, their environmental survey based on chromatographic methods was hindered by challenges in testing the extremely wide variety of ...

Characterizing the metabolism of Dehalococcoides with a constraint-based model. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2010
Dehalococcoides strains respire a wide variety of chloro-organic compounds and are important for the bioremediation of toxic, persistent, carcinogenic, and ubiquitous ground water pollutants.

Localized plasticity in the streamlined genomes of vinyl chloride respiring Dehalococcoides. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2009
Vinyl chloride (VC) is a human carcinogen and widespread priority pollutant. Here we report the first, to our knowledge, complete genome sequences of microorganisms able to respire VC, Dehalococcoides sp. strains VS and BAV1.

Inferring Gene Networks for Strains of Dehalococcoides Highlights Conserved Relationships between Genes Encoding Core Catabolic and Cell-Wall Structural Proteins. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The interpretation of high-throughput gene expression data for non-model microorganisms remains obscured because of the high fraction of hypothetical genes and the limited number of methods for the robust inference of gene networks.

Selective enrichment yields robust ethene-producing dechlorinating cultures from microcosms stalled at cis-dichloroethene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains are of particular importance for bioremediation due to their unique capability of transforming perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to non-toxic ethene, through the intermediates cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE ...

Inhibitory effects of metal ions on reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls and perchloroethene in distinct organohalide-respiring bacteria

Environment International, 2020
Bioremediation of sites co-contaminated with organohalides and metal pollutants may have unsatisfactory performance, since metal ions can potentially inhibit organohalide respiration.

Efficacy of emerging technologies in addressing reductive dechlorination for environmental bioremediation: A review

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 2022
Reductive dechlorination is a core pathway of chlorination in an anaerobic environment, which can be carried out by fermentative, methanogenic, iron and sulfate-reducing microorganisms.

Addition of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 to the Dehalococcoides-containing culture enhances the trichloroethene dechlorination

Environment International, 2019
Dehalococcoides is able to completely dehalogenate tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene (ETH). However, the dechlorination efficiency of Dehalococcoides is low and result in the accumulation of toxic intermediates.

A review in the current developments of genus Dehalococcoides, its consortia and kinetics for bioremediation options of contaminated groundwater

Sustainable Environment Research, 2018
This article reviews the current developments in genus Dehalococcoides as key dechlorinating bacteria in chlorinated ethene contaminated sites. The presence of chlorinated ethenes in environment had been a concern for more than five decades as it ...

Development and Characterization of a Chloroethenes-Dechlorinating Consortium Using Gluconate as a Hydrogen Donor

Journal of Water and Environment Technology, 2020
To evaluate the effectiveness of gluconate as a potential hydrogen donor for reductive dechlorination of chloroethenes, we developed a trichloroethene (TCE)-dechlorinating consortium from chloroethenes-contaminated groundwater containing Dehalococcoides ...
