Comparative proteogenomics reveals ecological and evolutionary insights into the organohalide-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus strain T [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and chloroform (CF) are persistent groundwater contaminants because of their widespread industrial use as organic solvents and improper disposal in the past.

Organohalide respiration potential in marine sediments from Aarhus Bay. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol Ecol, 2022 Abstract Organohalide respiration (OHR), catalysed by reductive dehalogenases (RDases), plays an important role in halogen cycling. Natural organohalides and putative RDase-encoding genes have been reported in Aarhus Bay sediments, however, OHR has not been experimentally verified.

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 ...

Structure of a membrane-bound menaquinol:organohalide oxidoreductase
Nature Communications, 2023 Organohalide-respiring bacteria are key organisms for the bioremediation of soils and aquifers contaminated with halogenated organic compounds. The major players in this process are respiratory reductive dehalogenases, corrinoid enzymes that use ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Localized plasticity in the streamlined genomes of vinyl chloride respiring Dehalococcoides. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 Vinyl chloride (VC) is a human carcinogen and widespread priority pollutant. Here we report the first, to our knowledge, complete genome sequences of microorganisms able to respire VC, Dehalococcoides sp. strains VS and BAV1.
