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

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 ...

Abstract Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a toxic organic compound, which can adversely affect human health. The chemical is one of the most frequently found contaminants in groundwater in the United States and around the world. A landfill in Maryland contaminated with high levels of TCE decades ago was added to the U.S.

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.

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 ...

Acidophilic methanotrophs: Occurrence, diversity, and possible bioremediation applications
Abstract Methanotrophs have been identified and isolated from acidic environments such as wetlands, acidic soils, peat bogs, and groundwater aquifers. Due to their methane (CH4) utilization as a carbon and energy source, acidophilic methanotrophs are important in controlling the release of atmospheric CH4, an important greenhouse gas, from acidic ...

Complete dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) by Dehalococcoides mccartyi is catalyzed by reductive dehalogenases (RDases), which possess cobalamin as the crucial cofactor. However, virtually all D. mccartyi isolated thus far are corrinoid auxotrophs.
