Comparative Biochemistry of Organohalide Respiration
2016Corrinoid-containing reductive dehalogenases (RDases) play a key role in the energy metabolism of anaerobic organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB). In such microorganisms the reductive dehalogenation of organohalides catalyzed by RDases is coupled to ATP synthesis via electron transport phosphorylation. The overview presented here summarizes the actual

Exploiting the ecogenomics toolbox for environmental diagnostics of organohalide-respiring bacteria
Trends in Biotechnology, 2010Various 'omics' methods have enabled environmental probing at the molecular level and have created an important new paradigm in bioremediation design and management. Ecogenomics - the application of genomics to ecological and environmental sciences - defines phylogenetic and functional biodiversity at the DNA, RNA and protein levels.

Genetic System of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria
2013Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) utilize halogenated organic compounds as terminal electron acceptors and are considered to be significantly important from both viewpoints of bioremediation and natural halogen cycle. Growth-linked bioremediation using OHRB has been successfully applied to removal of chlorinated solvents, e.g., tetrachloroethene ...

Comparative Physiology of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria
2016The potential for reductive organohalide respiration is relatively widespread among bacteria. In this chapter, we highlight metabolic differences between facultative and obligate organohalide-respiring bacteria. In addition, we compare the genomic architecture and evolution of the bacteria that comprise the obligate organohalide-respiring ...

Distribution of Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria between Solid and Aqueous Phases
Environmental Science & Technology, 2014Contemporary microbial monitoring of aquifers relies on groundwater samples to enumerate nonattached cells of interest. One-dimensional column studies quantified the distribution of bacterial cells in solid and the aqueous phases as a function of microbial species, growth substrate availability and porous medium (i.e., Appling soil versus Federal Fine ...

Complex I-like enzymes in organohalide-respiring bacteria
2021Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, NUO) and complex I-like enzymes have been detected in several organohalide-respiring bacteria at genomic and proteomic levels. The question of the involvement of these enzymes in organohalide respiration remains to be elucidated.

Electron transport chains in organohalide-respiring bacteria and bioremediation implications
Biotechnology Advances, 2018In situ remediation employing organohalide-respiring bacteria represents a promising solution for cleanup of persistent organohalide pollutants. The organohalide-respiring bacteria conserve energy by utilizing H2 or organic compounds as electron donors and organohalides as electron acceptors.

Energetic Considerations in Organohalide Respiration
2016Organohalide-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 ...

Energiekonservierung über Organohalid-Respiration in Sulfurospirillum multivorans
2018The epsilonproteobacterium Sulfurospirillum multivorans is able to couple the reductive dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to energy conservation via electron transport phosphorylation (organohalide respiration). The key enzyme of this anaerobic respiration is the reductive PCE dehalogenase (PceA).
