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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

The diversity and ecological significance of microbial traits potentially involved in B12 biosynthesis in the global ocean

mLife, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 416-427, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Cobalamin (B12), an essential nutrient and growth cofactor for many living organisms on Earth, can be fully synthesized only by selected prokaryotes in nature. Therefore, microbial communities related to B12 biosynthesis could serve as an example subsystem to disentangle the underlying ecological mechanisms balancing the function and taxonomic

Respiratory protein interactions in Dehalobacter sp. strain 8M revealed through genomic and native proteomic analyses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2604-2620, November 2023., 2023
Dehalobacter can respire with chlorinated methanes (chloroform) and ethanes. Genome sequencing, proteome analyses and enzymatic assays identify TmrA as the responsible enzyme. It is organized in a larger membrane‐bound respiratory complex. RdhC, a protein encoded in the same operon, appears to be another membrane‐bound electron‐transferring protein but
