Presence, Diversity, and Enrichment of Respiratory Reductive Dehalogenase and Non-respiratory Hydrolytic and Oxidative Dehalogenase Genes in Terrestrial Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Organohalide-respiring bacteria have been linked to the cycling and possible respiration of chlorinated natural organic matter (Cl-NOM) in uncontaminated soils and sediments. The importance of non-respiratory hydrolytic/oxidative dechlorination processes

Bioelectrochemically-assisted degradation of chloroform by a co-culture of Dehalobacter and Dehalobacterium

open access: yesEnvironmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2022
Using bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) to provide electrochemically generated hydrogen is a promising technology to provide electron donors for reductive dechlorination by organohalide-respiring bacteria.

Ensuring the continued success of a mulch biowall at a trichloroethylene‐contaminated superfund site: Lessons learned

open access: yesRemediation Journal, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 323-337, Fall 2023., 2023
Abstract Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a toxic organic compound, which can adversely affect human health. The chemical is one of the most frequently found contaminants in groundwater in the United States and around the world. A landfill in Maryland contaminated with high levels of TCE decades ago was added to the U.S.

International approaches to contamination management: Introduction to the RemTech Europe 2021 Special Series

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 910-912, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Soil is a nonrenewable resource, and groundwater is a critical source of drinking water. Effective soil and water protection, assessment and, if affected, recovery from contamination are priorities around the world; eco‐friendly interventions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are favored objectives.

Genome-Guided Identification of Organohalide-Respiring Deltaproteobacteria from the Marine Environment

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Organohalide compounds are widespread in the environment as a result of both anthropogenic activities and natural production. The marine environment, in particular, is a major reservoir of organohalides, and reductive dehalogenation is thought to be an ...

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Preserved Features in Organohalide-Respiring Sulfurospirillum Strains

open access: yesmSphere, 2022
Sulfurospirillum species strains are frequently detected in various pristine and contaminated environments and participate in carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and halogen elements cycling. Recently we obtained the complete genome sequences of two newly isolated

Ecogenomics of microbial communities in bioremediation of chlorinated contaminated sites

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Organohalide compounds such as chloroethenes, chloroethanes and polychlorinated benzenes are among the most significant pollutants in the world. These compounds are often found in contamination plumes with other pollutants such as solvents, pesticides ...

Microbial Community Changes in a Chlorinated Solvents Polluted Aquifer Over the Field Scale Treatment With Poly-3-Hydroxybutyrate as Amendment

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
This study investigated the organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) and the supporting microbial populations operating in a pilot scale plant employing poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable polymer produced by bacteria from waste streams, for the ...

Microbiology in sustainable remediation of contaminated sites [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia, 2023
The release of chemicals that have negative human or environmental health impacts has been rife around the world for a century. Approaches to contaminated site remediation have evolved over this time to address environmental contamination.
