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.

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Preserved Features in Organohalide-Respiring Sulfurospirillum Strains

mSphere, 2022
Sulfurospirillum species strains are frequently detected in various pristine and contaminated environments and participate in carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and halogen elements cycling. Recently we obtained the complete genome sequences of two newly isolated

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.

Resilience and functional redundancy of methanogenic digestion microbiome safeguard recovery of methanogenesis activity under the stress induced by microplastics

mLife, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 378-388, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants that substantially influence biological element cycling in natural ecosystems. Plastics are also prevalent in sewage, and they accumulate in waste‐activated sludge (WAS). However, the impacts of plastics on the methanogenic digestion of WAS and the underpinning microbiome remain ...

Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain NIT01 grows more stably in vessels made of pure titanium rather than the stainless alloy SUS304

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 557-567, December 2023., 2023
To establish large‐scale cultivation of Dehalococcoides, 7–10 litre culturing of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain NIT01 was performed using three different vessels made of glass, stainless alloy SUS304, and titanium. The unbreakable titanium vessel demonstrated complete dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene, even after being reused five ...

Proteomic data set of the organohalide-respiring Epsilonproteobacterium Sulfurospirillum multivorans adapted to tetrachloroethene and other energy substrates

Data in Brief, 2016
Sulfurospirillum multivorans is a free-living, physiologically versatile Epsilonproteobacterium able to couple the reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated and brominated ethenes to growth (organohalide respiration).

Respiratory protein interactions in Dehalobacter sp. strain 8M revealed through genomic and native proteomic analyses

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2604-2620, November 2023., 2023
Dehalobacter can respire with chlorinated methanes (chloroform) and ethanes. Genome sequencing, proteome analyses and enzymatic assays identify TmrA as the responsible enzyme. It is organized in a larger membrane‐bound respiratory complex. RdhC, a protein encoded in the same operon, appears to be another membrane‐bound electron‐transferring protein but

Genome-Guided Identification of Organohalide-Respiring Deltaproteobacteria from the Marine Environment

mBio, 2018
Organohalide compounds are widespread in the environment as a result of both anthropogenic activities and natural production. The marine environment, in particular, is a major reservoir of organohalides, and reductive dehalogenation is thought to be an ...

Ensuring the continued success of a mulch biowall at a trichloroethylene‐contaminated superfund site: Lessons learned

Remediation Journal, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 323-337, Fall 2023., 2023
Abstract Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a toxic organic compound, which can adversely affect human health. The chemical is one of the most frequently found contaminants in groundwater in the United States and around the world. A landfill in Maryland contaminated with high levels of TCE decades ago was added to the U.S.

International approaches to contamination management: Introduction to the RemTech Europe 2021 Special Series

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 910-912, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Soil is a nonrenewable resource, and groundwater is a critical source of drinking water. Effective soil and water protection, assessment and, if affected, recovery from contamination are priorities around the world; eco‐friendly interventions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are favored objectives.
