Burning question: Rethinking organohalide degradation strategy for bioremediation applications

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.
This review specifically focuses on the novel solution of organohalide bioremediation, proposing redox‐potential‐mediated hybrid bioprocesses tailored to the complexities of organohalide pollution. Abstract Organohalides are widespread pollutants that pose significant environmental hazards due to their high degree of halogenation and elevated redox ...

Characterization and Adaptation of Anaerobic Sludge Microbial Communities Exposed to Tetrabromobisphenol A. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The increasing occurrence of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in the environment is raising questions about its potential ecological and human health impacts. TBBPA is microbially transformed under anaerobic conditions to bisphenol A (BPA).

Biodegradation of chloroethene compounds under microoxic conditions

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 1036-1049, March 2024.
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 ...

Design and evaluation of 16S rRNA sequence based oligonucleotide probes for the detection and quantification of Comamonas testosteroni in mixed microbial communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background The β-proteobacterial species Comamonas testosteroni is capable of biotransformation and also biodegradation of a range of chemical compounds and thus potentially useful in chemical manufacturing and bioremediation.

Ecology and biogeography of bacterial communities associated with chloroethene-contaminated aquifers

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Massive usage, along with careless handling, storage, spills and leakages made chloroethenes (CEs) one of the most abundant classes of groundwater contaminants.

Experimental validation of in silico model-predicted isocitrate dehydrogenase and phosphomannose isomerase from Dehalococcoides mccartyi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Gene sequences annotated as proteins of unknown or non-specific function and hypothetical proteins account for a large fraction of most genomes. In the strictly anaerobic and organohalide respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi, this lack of annotation ...

Carbon, Metals, and Grain Size Correlate with Bacterial Community Structure in Sediments of a High Arsenic Aquifer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Bacterial communities can exert significant influence on the biogeochemical cycling of arsenic (As). This has globally important implications since As toxicity in drinking water affects the health of millions of people worldwide, including in the Ganges ...

Syntrophic Partners Enhance Growth and Respiratory Dehalogenation of Hexachlorobenzene by Dehalococcoides mccartyi Strain CBDB1

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
This study investigated syntrophic interactions between chlorinated benzene respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1 and fermenting partners (Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans, and Geobacter lovleyi) during hexachlorobenzene ...
