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.

Incomplete Wood-Ljungdahl pathway facilitates one-carbon metabolism in organohalide-respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi. [PDF]
, 2014 The acetyl-CoA "Wood-Ljungdahl" pathway couples the folate-mediated one-carbon (C1) metabolism to either CO2 reduction or acetate oxidation via acetyl-CoA.

Remediation Journal, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 323-337, Fall 2023., 2023 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.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate as a slow-release carbon source for in situ bioremediation of contaminated aquifers: from laboratory investigation to pilot-scale testing in the field [PDF]
, 2016 A pilot-scale study aiming to evaluate the potential use of poly-3-hydroxy-butyrate (PHB) as an electron donor source for in situ bioremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons in groundwater was conducted.

Acidophilic methanotrophs: Occurrence, diversity, and possible bioremediation applications
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 265-281, August 2023., 2023 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 ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 910-912, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Soil is a nonrenewable resource, and groundwater is a critical source of drinking water. Effective soil and water protection, assessment and, if affected, recovery from contamination are priorities around the world; eco‐friendly interventions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are favored objectives.
