Enumeration of Organohalide Respirers in Municipal Wastewater Anaerobic Digesters [PDF]
Organohalide contaminants such as triclosan and triclocarban have been well documented in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but the degradation of these contaminants is not well understood. One possible removal mechanism is organohalide respiration by which bacteria reduce the halogenated compound.

Geochemical and microbial community determinants of reductive dechlorination at a site biostimulated with glycerol [PDF]
Biostimulation is widely used to enhance reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated aquifers. However, the knowledge on corresponding biogeochemical responses is limited. In this study glycerol was injected in an aquifer contaminated

Cofactor Selectivity in Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A Mutase, a Model Cobamide-Dependent Enzyme. [PDF]
Cobamides, a uniquely diverse family of enzyme cofactors related to vitamin B12, are produced exclusively by bacteria and archaea but used in all domains of life.

Transcriptional regulation of tetrachloroethene respiration in Sulfurospirillum species [PDF]
Energy conservation via organohalide respiration (OHR), comprising the reductive dehalogenation of halogenated organic compounds, is an inducible process in OHR capable Sulfurospirillum species.

Reductive dehalogenases are responsible for the reductive cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds during organohalide respiration. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed for these cobalamin and [4Fe-4S] containing enzymes, including organocobalt, radical ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate as a slow-release carbon source for in situ bioremediation of contaminated aquifers: from laboratory investigation to pilot-scale testing in the field [PDF]
A pilot-scale study aiming to evaluate the potential use of poly-3-hydroxy-butyrate (PHB) as an electron donor source for in situ bioremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons in groundwater was conducted.

Experimental validation of in silico model-predicted isocitrate dehydrogenase and phosphomannose isomerase from Dehalococcoides mccartyi [PDF]
Gene sequences annotated as proteins of unknown or non-specific function and hypothetical proteins account for a large fraction of most genomes. In the strictly anaerobic and organohalide respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi, this lack of annotation ...

Organohalide-Respiring Deltaproteobacteria
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.
