Comparative Physiology of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria
2016The potential for reductive organohalide respiration is relatively widespread among bacteria. In this chapter, we highlight metabolic differences between facultative and obligate organohalide-respiring bacteria. In addition, we compare the genomic architecture and evolution of the bacteria that comprise the obligate organohalide-respiring ...

Primers That Target Functional Genes of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria
2015Halogenated organic hydrocarbons are problematic environmental pollutants that can be reductively dehalogenated by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) in anoxic environments. This energy-conserving process is mediated by reductive dehalogenases (RDases).

Outlook—The Next Frontiers for Research on Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria
2016Research efforts over the last two decades have substantially advanced the understanding of organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB), and this progress has enabled successful bioremediation applications at chlorinated solvent-contaminated sites. Yet, major knowledge gaps remain, and detailed biochemical, genetic, regulatory, evolutionary, taxonomic, and ...

Because of the stepwise, progressive nature of reductive dehalogenation reactions, polyhalogenated parent electron acceptors and their corresponding intermediary dehalogenation products are almost always simultaneously present in the environments where these processes occur.

Discovery of Organohalide-Respiring Processes and the Bacteria Involved
2016Hazardous halogenated organic compounds are produced industrially for a variety of uses, are highly resistant to degradation by aerobic organisms, and are now widely distributed throughout the natural environment. Discovered in the 1960s were, anaerobic organisms that can transform chlorinated pesticides such as DDT and lindane.

Biodegradation, 2014
Anaerobic reductive dechlorination of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and three isomers of tetrachlorobenzene (TeCB) (1,2,3,4-, 1,2,3,5- and 1,2,4,5-TeCB) was investigated in microcosms containing chloroaromatic contaminated river sediment. All chlorobenzenes were dechlorinated to dichlorobenzene (DCB) or monochlorobenzene.

Comparison of the genomes of organohalide-respiring bacteria has improved our understanding of the genetic background of the organohalide respiration process. In this chapter the remarkable differences between obligate and facultative organohalide-respiring bacteria in the number of reductive dehalogenase-encoding genes and the numbers and types of ...

Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) have been isolated from a wide range of anoxic environments worldwide and can easily be enriched in the laboratory. Obligate OHRB generally thrive best in mixed communities as part of anaerobic food webs that typically involve interspecies hydrogen (H2) transfer from fermenters to OHRB, and often OHRB compete for ...
