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

open access: yesSustainable 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 ...

Responses of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 to lindane: Physiological effects and differential expression of potential lin genes

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
In this article, the tolerance of Anabaena sp. to lindane was studied as well as the expression of its potential lin genes. Our goal was to obtain information to create strategies for lindane bioremediation and also to find the induction of genes in the presence of lindane that can be used in the development of whole‐cell biosensors.

Diverse reductive dehalogenases are associated with Clostridiales-enriched microcosms dechlorinating 1,2-dichloroethane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The achievement of successful biostimulation of active microbiomes for the cleanup of a polluted site is strictly dependent on the knowledge of the key microorganisms equipped with the relevant catabolic genes responsible for the degradation process.

Site-Specific Mobilization of Vinyl Chloride Respiration Islands by a Mechanism Common in Dehalococcoides

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2011
Background Vinyl chloride is a widespread groundwater pollutant and Group 1 carcinogen. A previous comparative genomic analysis revealed that the vinyl chloride reductase operon, vcrABC, of Dehalococcoides sp.

Nutrient cross-feeding in the microbial world. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The stability and function of a microbial community depends on nutritional interactions among community members such as the cross-feeding of essential small molecules synthesized by a subset of the population.

Comparative metagenomics of three Dehalococcoides-containing enrichment cultures: the role of the non-dechlorinating community

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2012
Background The Dehalococcoides are strictly anaerobic bacteria that gain metabolic energy via the oxidation of H2 coupled to the reduction of halogenated organic compounds. Dehalococcoides spp.

Combined read- and assembly-based metagenomics to reconstruct a Dehalococcoides mccartyi genome from PCB-contaminated sediments and evaluate functional differences among organohalide-respiring consortia in the presence of different halogenated contaminants. [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiol Ecol, 2022
Microbial communities that support respiration of halogenated organic contaminants by Dehalococcoides sp. facilitate full-scale bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes and demonstrate the potential to aid in bioremediation of halogenated aromatics like ...

Acetylene Fuels TCE Reductive Dechlorination by Defined Dehalococcoides/Pelobacter Consortia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Acetylene (C2H2) can be generated in contaminated groundwater sites as a consequence of chemical degradation of trichloroethene (TCE) by in situ minerals, and C2H2 is known to inhibit bacterial dechlorination. In this study, we show that while high C2H2 (

Functional Genes and Bacterial Communities During Organohalide Respiration of Chloroethenes in Microcosms of Multi-Contaminated Groundwater

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microcosm experiments with CE-contaminated groundwater from a former industrial site were set-up to evaluate the relationships between biological CE dissipation, dehalogenase genes abundance and bacterial genera diversity.

Burning question: Rethinking organohalide degradation strategy for bioremediation applications. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrob Biotechnol
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 ...
