GENETICS AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF DEHALOGENATING ENZYMES [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 1994 Microorganisms that can utilize halogenated compounds as a growth substrate generally produce enzymes whose function is carbon-halogen bond cleavage. Based on substrate range, reaction type and gene sequences, the dehalogenating enzymes can be classified

Evidence of microbial reductive dehalogenation in deep-sea cold seeps and its implications for biogeochemical cycles [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Reductive dehalogenation is crucial for halogen cycling and environmental remediation, yet its ecological role is not completely understood, especially in deep-sea environments. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and expression

Understanding the sources, function, and irreplaceable role of cobamides in organohalide-respiring bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyHalogenated organic compounds are persistent pollutants that pose a serious threat to human health and the safety of ecosystems. Cobamides are essential cofactors for reductive dehalogenases (RDase) in organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB), which ...

Microbial dehalogenation [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001 Novel dehalogenases have been identified recently in various bacteria that utilise halogenated substrates. X-ray studies and sequence analysis have revealed insight into the molecular mechanisms of hydrolytic dehalogenases. Furthermore, genetic and biochemical studies have indicated that reductive dehalogenases are extra-cytoplasmic corrinoid ...
