Microbial Dehalogenation of Synthetic Organohalogen Compounds: Hydrolytic Dehalogenases
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.

Structural basis for the hydrolytic dehalogenation of the fungicide chlorothalonil. [PDF]
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

Nonconventional hydrolytic dehalogenation of 1‐chlorobutane by dehydrated bacteria in a continuous solid–gas biofilter [PDF]
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 ...

Salt mine microorganisms used for the biotransformation of chlorolactones. [PDF]
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 ...

Bioremediation of halogenated compounds: comparison of dehalogenating bacteria and improvement of catalyst stability [PDF]
Five bacterial strains were compared for halogenated compounds conversion in aqueous media. Depending on the strain, the optimal temperature for dehalogenase activity of resting cells varied from 30 to 45 degrees C, while optimal pH raised from 8.4 to 9 ...

Hydrolytic dehalogenation of 4-chlorobenzoic acid by an Acinetobacter sp.
Acinetobacter sp. strain ST-1, isolated from garden soil, can mineralize 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4-CBA). The bacterium degrades 4-CBA, starting with dehalogenation to yield 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, suggesting that the dehalogenating enzyme in the strain is not an oxygenase; the enzyme may catalyze halide ...
