On the influence of cobamides on organohalide respiration and mercury methylation [PDF]
Corrinoids are metallic cofactors that serve as prosthetic groups for numerous reactions catalyzed by various microorganisms, ranging from carbon and nitrogen cycling to toxic waste remediation.

Localized plasticity in the streamlined genomes of vinyl chloride respiring Dehalococcoides. [PDF]
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.

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 ...

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 ...

Coexistence of two distinct Sulfurospirillum populations respiring tetrachloroethene - genomic and kinetic considerations [PDF]
Two anaerobic bacterial consortia, each harboring a distinct Sulfurospirillum population, were derived from a 10 year old consortium, SL2, previously characterized for the stepwise dechlorination of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE)

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 ...

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.

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.
