Organohalide Respiration with Diclofenac by Dehalogenimonas.

Environmental Science & Technology, 2022
Diclofenac (DCF) is a pharmaceutically active contaminant frequently found in aquatic ecosystems. The transformation pathways and microbiology involved in the biodegradation of DCF, particularly under anoxic conditions, remain poorly understood. Here, we

Interspecies Mobility of Organohalide Respiration Gene Clusters Enables Genetic Bioaugmentation.

Environmental Science & Technology
Anthropogenic organohalide pollutants pose a severe threat to public health and ecosystems. In situ bioremediation using organohalide respiring bacteria (OHRB) offers an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient strategy for decontaminating ...

Regulation of organohalide respiration.

open access: yesAdvances in Microbial Physiology, 2019
Organohalide respiration (OHR) is an anaerobic metabolism by which bacteria conserve energy with the use of halogenated compounds as terminal electron acceptors. Genes involved in OHR are organized in reductive dehalogenase (rdh) gene clusters and can be found in relatively high copy numbers in the genomes of organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB). The

Structural basis for organohalide respiration

Science, 2014
How bacteria break down organohalides Anaerobic bacteria can break down a range of organohalide pollutants. To do so, they use unusual reductive dehalogenase enzymes that remove the halogen ion from the molecule, making the pollutants less toxic. Bommer et al. describe x-ray

Energetic Considerations in Organohalide Respiration

, 2016
Organohalide-respiring bacteria harness energy using halogenated organic compounds as electron acceptors. The objective of this chapter is to evaluate the thermodynamics and energetics of organohalide respiration, that is, (i) how much energy the organisms can obtain from dehalogenation, and how this energy compares to the energy available from other ...

Genomic insights into organohalide respiration.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2013
In the last few years there has been a burst of genomes released for organohalide respiring bacteria (referred to as OHRB herein though the process is otherwise known as dehalorespiration, reductive dechlorination, or halorespiration). The microorganisms are employed in bioremediation of sites contaminated with chlorinated ethene, ethane, and methanes,
