Overview of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria and a Proposal for a Classification System for Reductive Dehalogenases [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013
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.

Environmental considerations and bioremediation applications of the metal-, nitrate-, and organohalide-respiring bacterium Trichlorobacter lovleyi (formerly Geobacter lovleyi) [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Trichlorobacter lovleyi (formerly Geobacter lovleyi) is a gram-negative bacterium that can couple the oxidation of acetate or other small organic acids with the reduction of soluble and insoluble electron acceptors, such as chlorinated solvents, heavy ...

Comparative proteogenomics reveals ecological and evolutionary insights into the organohalide-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus strain T [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and chloroform (CF) are persistent groundwater contaminants because of their widespread industrial use as organic solvents and improper disposal in the past.

Substrate-driven microbial specialization and cooperative dechlorination of chlorinated pollutants in estuarine ecosystems [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are globally distributed, yet their ecological roles in marine environments remain poorly understood, with few isolates characterized from these systems.

Inhibitory effects of metal ions on reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls and perchloroethene in distinct organohalide-respiring bacteria

Environment International, 2020
Bioremediation of sites co-contaminated with organohalides and metal pollutants may have unsatisfactory performance, since metal ions can potentially inhibit organohalide respiration.

Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria at the Heart of Anaerobic Metabolism in Arctic Wet Tundra Soils. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021
Once considered relevant only in contaminated sites, it is now recognized that biological chlorine cycling is widespread in natural environments. However, linkages between chlorine cycling and other ecosystem processes are not well established.
