Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most common groundwater contaminants in the United States; however clean-up efforts are a challenge due to its physical and chemical properties. TCE and several of its degradation products were detected in the groundwater of the Beaver Dam Road Landfill site (Beltsville, MD) at concentrations above accepted maximum

Microbiology in sustainable remediation of contaminated sites [PDF]
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.

Experimental validation of in silico model-predicted isocitrate dehydrogenase and phosphomannose isomerase from Dehalococcoides mccartyi [PDF]
Gene sequences annotated as proteins of unknown or non-specific function and hypothetical proteins account for a large fraction of most genomes. In the strictly anaerobic and organohalide respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi, this lack of annotation ...

Cobamide-mediated enzymatic reductive dehalogenation via long-range electron transfer
Cobalamin-containing reductive dehalogenases from organohalide-respiring bacteria play a key role in the degradation of halogenated organic compounds. Here the authors proposed a catalytic mechanism for dehalogenation that relies on a long-range electron

Prospects for harnessing biocide resistance for bioremediation and detoxification [PDF]
Prokaryotes in natural environments respond rapidly to high concentrations of chemicals and physical stresses. Exposure to anthropogenic toxic substancessuch as oil, chlorinated solvents, or antibioticsfavors the evolution of resistant phenotypes, some ...

Preparation and characterization of site-specific dechlorinating microbial inocula capable of complete dechlorination enriched in anaerobic microcosms amended with clay mineral [PDF]
Short-chain halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. perchloroethene, trichloroethene) are among the most toxic environmental pollutants. Perchloroethene and trichloroethene can be dechlorinated to non-toxic ethene through reductive dechlorination by ...
