Fungal Strains as Catalysts for the Biotransformation of Halolactones by Hydrolytic Dehalogenation with the Dimethylcyclohexane System [PDF]
Molecules, 2012 Bicyclic chloro-, bromo- and iodo-γ-lactones with dimethylcyclohexane rings were used as substrates for bioconversion by several fungal strains (<em>Fusarium</em>, <em>Botrytis</em> and <em>Beauveria</em>). Most of the

Structural basis for the hydrolytic dehalogenation of the fungicide chlorothalonil. [PDF]
J Biol Chem, 2020 Cleavage of aromatic carbon-chlorine bonds is critical for the degradation of toxic industrial compounds. Here, we solved the X-ray crystal structure of chlorothalonil dehalogenase (Chd) from Pseudomonas sp. CTN-3, with 15 of its N-terminal residues truncated (ChdT), using single-wavelength anomalous dispersion refined to 1.96 Å resolution. Chd has low

The Operon Encoding Hydrolytic Dehalogenation of 4-Chlorobenzoate Is Transcriptionally Regulated by the TetR-Type Repressor FcbR and Its Ligand 4-Chlorobenzoyl Coenzyme A. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 The bacterial hydrolytic dehalogenation of 4CBA is a special CoA-activation-type catabolic pathway that plays an important role in the biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls and some herbicides. With genetic and biochemical approaches, the present study identified the transcriptional repressor and its cognate effector of a 4CBA hydrolytic ...

Microbial Dehalogenation of Synthetic Organohalogen Compounds: Hydrolytic Dehalogenases
CHIMIA, 1993 Hydrolytic removal of halogen substitutents is commonly the first step in the degradation of haloaliphatic compounds by aerobic bacteria, whereas initial dehalogenation of aryl halides is rare.

New Hydroxylactones and Chloro-Hydroxylactones Obtained by Biotransformation of Bicyclic Halolactones and Their Antibacterial Activity [PDF]
MoleculesThe aim of this study was to obtain new halolactones with a gem-dimethyl group in the cyclohexane ring (at the C-3 or C-5 carbon) and a methyl group in the lactone ring and then subject them to biotransformations using filamentous fungi.

Macroalgal microbiomes unveil a valuable genetic resource for halogen metabolism [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Macroalgae, especially reds (Rhodophyta Division) and browns (Phaeophyta Division), are known for producing various halogenated compounds. Yet, the reasons underlying their production and the fate of these metabolites remain largely unknown ...

Salt mine microorganisms used for the biotransformation of chlorolactones. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The aim of the project was to find new catalysts capable of chlorolactone biotransformation. Three bicyclic chlorolactones with structures possessing one or two methyl groups in their cyclohexane ring were subjected to screening biotransformation using ...

Nonconventional hydrolytic dehalogenation of 1‐chlorobutane by dehydrated bacteria in a continuous solid–gas biofilter [PDF]
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2005 AbstractRhodococcus erythropolis NCIMB 13064 and Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 are able to catalyze the conversion of halogenated hydrocarbons to their corresponding alcohols. These strains are attractive biocatalysts for gas phase remediation of polluted gaseous effluents because of their complementary specificity for short or medium and for mono ...

Identification of genes coding for hydrolytic dehalogenation in the metagenome derived from a denitrifying 4-chlorobenzoate degrading consortium. [PDF]
FEMS microbiology letters, 2008 A metagenomic approach was taken to investigate the genetic basis for the ability of an anaerobic consortium to grow on either 4-chlorobenzoate or 4-bromobenzoate under denitrifying conditions. Degenerate PCR primers were designed for the family of 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase genes.
