Genomic insights into organohalide respiration
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2013In 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,

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
, 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 ...

Glucose facilitates the acclimation of organohalide-respiring bacteria
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023Organohalide respiring bacteria (OHRB) are the mainstay for bioremediation of organohalide contaminated sites. Enrichment screening of OHRB is prerequisite for the development of high performance dehalogenating bacterial agents. Herein, different domestication strategies were formulated for the main factors (nutrients and inocula) affecting the ...

Offshore Marine Sediment Microbiota Respire Structurally Distinct Organohalide Pollutants
Environmental Science & Technology, 2022Marine sediments are a major sink of organohalide pollutants, but the potential for offshore marine microbiota to transform these pollutants remains underexplored. Here, we report dehalogenation of diverse organohalide pollutants by offshore marine microbiota.

Isotopic effects of PCE induced by organohalide-respiring bacteria
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017Reductive dechlorination performed by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) enables the complete detoxification of certain emerging groundwater pollutants such as perchloroethene (PCE). Environmental samples from a contaminated site incubated in a lab-scale microcosm (MC) study enable documentation of such reductive dechlorination processes.

Plastisphere Microbiomes Respiring Persistent Organohalide Pollutants
Environmental Science & TechnologyPlastics are invading nearly all ecosystems on earth, acting as emerging repositories for toxic organic pollutants and thereby imposing substantial threats to ecological integrity. The colonization of plastics by microorganisms, forming the plastisphere, has garnered attention due to its potential influence on biogeochemical cycles.

Ultrastructure of Organohalide-Respiring Dehalococcoidia Revealed by Cryo-Electron Tomography
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2022Dehalococcoidia respire organohalogen compounds and play relevant roles in bioremediation of groundwater, sediments, and soils impacted with toxic chlorinated pollutants. Using advanced imaging tools, we have obtained three-dimensional images at macromolecular resolution of whole Dehalococcoidia cells ...
