Diversity of organohalide respiring bacteria and reductive dehalogenases that detoxify polybrominated diphenyl ethers in E-waste recycling sites. [PDF]
Abstract Widespread polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) contamination poses risks to human health and ecosystems. Bioremediation is widely considered to be a less ecologically disruptive strategy for remediation of organohalide contamination, but bioremediation of PBDE-contaminated sites is limited by a lack of knowledge about PBDE ...

Abundance and Diversity of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria in Lake Sediments Across a Geographical Sulfur Gradient [PDF]
Across the U.S. Upper Midwest, a natural geographical sulfate gradient exists in lakes. Sediment grab samples and cores were taken to explore whether this sulfur gradient impacted organohalide-respiring Chloroflexi in lake sediments.

Overview of organohalide-respiring bacteria and a proposal for a classification system for reductive dehalogenases. [PDF]
Organohalide respiration is an anaerobic bacterial respiratory process that uses halogenated hydrocarbons as terminal electron acceptors during electron transport-based energy conservation. This dechlorination process has triggered considerable interest for detoxification of anthropogenic groundwater contaminants.
