Organohalide respiration by a Desulforhopalus -dominated community
The ISME Journal, 2023 Abstract Despite the fact that several potential organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) were discovered in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) in our previous study of marine sediments from Aarhus Bay, delineation of their roles and interactions are yet to be disentangled.

Sorption-mediated organohalide respiration biokinetics of tetrachloroethene. [PDF]
Water ResCombining microbial bioaugmentation and activated carbon sorbent amendment is an emerging approach for in situ remediation of recalcitrant organohalide-contaminated sediments. However, how sorbent surfaces impact the organohalide respiration rate of the attached microorganisms needs to be better understood to predict the efficacy of the technology and ...

Organohalide-Respiring Deltaproteobacteria [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2016 Organohalide respiration was first discovered in the deltaproteobacterium Desulfomonile tiedjei, which used 3-chlorobenzoate as the respiratory electron acceptor. Since this breakthrough discovery, the organohalide-respiring phenotype was demonstrated in 6 out of the 21 currently published families of the class Deltaproteobacteria.

Natural Niche for Organohalide-Respiring Chloroflexi [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT The phylum Chloroflexi contains several isolated bacteria that have been found to respire a diverse array of halogenated anthropogenic chemicals. The distribution and role of these Chloroflexi in uncontaminated terrestrial ...

New insights into Dehalococcoides mccartyi metabolism from a reconstructed metabolic network-based systems-level analysis of D. mccartyi transcriptomes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Organohalide respiration, mediated by Dehalococcoides mccartyi, is a useful bioremediation process that transforms ground water pollutants and known human carcinogens such as trichloroethene and vinyl chloride into benign ethenes.
