Ecophysiology and environmental distribution of organohalide-respiring bacteria
, 2016 Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are able to breathe natural and anthropogenically produced organohalides persistent in a broad range of oxygen-depleted environments. Therefore, these microorganisms are of high interest for organohalide-contaminated site bioremediation and natural halogen and carbon cycle.

Abundance and Diversity of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria in Lake Sediments Across a Geographical Sulfur Gradient [PDF]
, 2013 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.

A widely distributed metalloenzyme class enables gut microbial metabolism of host- and diet-derived catechols. [PDF]
, 2020 Catechol dehydroxylation is a central chemical transformation in the gut microbial metabolism of plant- and host-derived small molecules. However, the molecular basis for this transformation and its distribution among gut microorganisms are poorly ...
