A Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-Biochar Reactor for the Adsorption and Biodegradation of Trichloroethylene: Design and Startup Phase

Bioengineering, 2022
In this work, polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB) and biochar from pine wood (PWB) are used in a mini-pilot scale biological reactor (11.3 L of geometric volume) for trichloroethylene (TCE) removal (80 mgTCE/day and 6 L/day of flow rate).

Elastic Deformation of Cellulose/Lignin‐Based Anode for Rejuvenating Aged Mix‐Cultured Electroactive Biofilms

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 23, June 20, 2025.
A new strategy for revitalizing aged biofilms using the elastic deformation of biomass‐based flexible carbon aerogel is proposed. The elastic deformation removes the nonelectrogenic bacteria and the dead electrogenic bacteria, as well as a lot of loosely bound extracellular polymer materials.

Coupling of bioelectrochemical toluene oxidation and trichloroethene reductive dechlorination for single-stage treatment of groundwater containing multiple contaminants

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2022
Bioremediation of groundwater contaminated by a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents is typically challenged because these contaminants are degraded via distinctive oxidative and reductive pathways, thus requiring different ...

Thermochemical Recycling and Degradation Strategies of Halogenated Polymers (F−, Cl−, Br−): A Holistic Review Coupled with Mechanistic Insights

The Chemical Record, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2025.
This review aims to comprehensively address recent degradation techniques (physical, chemical and biological) of halogenated waste polymers with a prime focus on thermal degradation techniques. Exploiting various metal oxides during co‐pyrolysis is deemed a viable solution for recycling halogenated polymeric waste.

Diversity of dehalorespiring bacteria and selective enrichment of aryl halides-dechlorinating consortium from sedimentary environment near an oil refinery

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2018
This study demonstrated the potential for reductive dechlorination of aryl halides in a sedimentary environment by naturally occurring bacteria. A laboratory sediment microcosm and highly enriched, stable dechlorinating cultures were established using ...

BEAN and HABAS: Polyphyletic insertions in the DNA‐directed RNA polymerase

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The β and β′ subunits of the RNA polymerase (RNAP) are large proteins with complex multi‐domain architectures that include several insertional domains. Here, we analyze the domain organizations of RNAP‐β and RNAP‐β′ using sequence, experimentally determined structures and AlphaFold structure predictions.

Frequent concomitant presence of Desulfitobacterium spp. and " Dehalococcoides ” spp. in chloroethene-dechlorinating microbial communities [PDF]

, 2018
The presence of chloroethene dechlorination activity as well as several bacterial genera containing mainly organohalide-respiring members was investigated in 34 environmental samples from 18 different sites.

Genome‐resolved metagenomics revealed novel microbial taxa with ancient metabolism from macroscopic microbial mat structures inhabiting anoxic deep reefs of a Maldivian Blue Hole

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2024.
This study investigates macroscopic microbial mat structures found in complete anoxic conditions at 70 m depth in a Maldivian Blue Hole. Genome‐resolved metagenomic led to the description of several new taxa with ancient metabolism revealing novel bacterial genera belonging to the order Dehalococcoidales as dominant members of these communities ...

Organohalide Respiring Bacteria and Reductive Dehalogenases: Key Tools in Organohalide Bioremediation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Organohalides are recalcitrant pollutants that have been responsible for substantial contamination of soils and groundwater. Organohalide-respiring bacteria (ORB) provide a potential solution to remediate contaminated sites, through their ability to use ...

Functional genomics with a comprehensive library of transposon mutants for the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20. [PDF]

, 2014
UnlabelledThe genomes of sulfate-reducing bacteria remain poorly characterized, largely due to a paucity of experimental data and genetic tools. To meet this challenge, we generated an archived library of 15,477 mapped transposon insertion mutants in the
