Roles of Organohalide-Respiring Dehalococcoidia in Carbon Cycling.
The class Dehalococcoidia within the Chloroflexi phylum comprises the obligate organohalide-respiring genera Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, and “Candidatus Dehalobium.” Knowledge of the unique ecophysiology and biochemistry of Dehalococcoidia has been

Distribution of Dehalococcoidia in the Anaerobic Deep Water of a Remote Meromictic Crater Lake and Detection of Dehalococcoidia-Derived Reductive Dehalogenase Homologous Genes [PDF]
Here we describe the natural occurrence of bacteria of the class Dehalococcoidia (DEH) and their diversity at different depths in anoxic waters of a remote meromictic lake (Lake Pavin) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR ...

Genomic Characteristics Distinguish Geographically Distributed Dehalococcoidia [PDF]
Dehalococcoidia (Dia) class microorganisms are frequently found in various pristine and contaminated environments. Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and single-cell amplified genomes (SAGs) studies have substantially improved the understanding of Dia ...

Comparative Genomics Reveals Dehalogenimonas Genome Dynamics and Evolutionary Trajectories Toward Organohalide Respiration. [PDF]
Dehalogenimonas spp. specialize in organohalide respiration, a metabolism that features reductive dehalogenase (RDase) as the key catalyst, yet their evolutionary history and adaptation to halogenated substrates are largely unknown. Here, we surveyed the

35 metagenomic datasets from the northern and southern parts of the Yap trench sediments [PDF]
The hadal trench is the deepest part of the global ocean and harbors highly abundant microbial cells. However, the diversity and function of the majority of microbial communities in this part of the ocean are still unclear.

Potential for the anaerobic oxidation of benzene and naphthalene in thermophilic microorganisms from the Guaymas Basin [PDF]
Unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons (UAHs) are recalcitrant molecules abundant in crude oil, which is accumulated in subsurface reservoirs and occasionally enters the marine environment through natural seepage or human-caused spillage.

Geochemical variability and microbial metabolic functions in oligotrophic sediments exposed to minor seepage [PDF]
Low primary productivity in Barents Sea surface waters and limited nutrient flux to the seafloor favor nitrification and nitrogen fixation in deep waters, resulting in a dearth of organic substrates in local sediments. The addition of labile hydrocarbons
