Biodegradation of Carbon Tetrachloride in Groundwater: Microbial Community Shifts and Functional Genes Involvement in Enhanced Reductive Dechlorination [PDF]

open access: yesToxics
Carbon tetrachloride (CT) is a toxic volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon, posing a serious hazard to ecosystem and human health. This study discussed the bioremediation possibility of groundwater contaminated by CT.

Unveiling organohalide respiration potential in River Nile sediments via 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of endogenous bacterial communities [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Microbiology
Background Industrial waste, agricultural runoff and untreated sewage contaminate the Nile, leaving a toxic legacy in its sediments. Organohalides-polluted sediment in particular poses serious public health risks and detrimental effects on aquatic life ...

Developing an E. coli heterologous expression system for characterizing a marine debrominase from Roseobacter sp. [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology
Reductive dehalogenases (RDases) are a family of enzymes that employ a cobamide cofactor and two iron-sulfur clusters to selectively cleave carbon-halogen bonds.

High frequency of phylogenetically diverse reductive dehalogenase-homologous genes in deep subseafloor sedimentary metagenomes [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Marine subsurface sediments on the Pacific margin harbor diverse microbial communities even at depths of several hundreds meters below the seafloor (mbsf) or more.

Microbially-mediated halogenation and dehalogenation cycling of organohalides in the ocean [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Microbially mediated organohalide cycling in the ocean has profound implications for global biogeochemical cycles and climate, but the geographic distribution and diversity of the halogenation-dehalogenation cycling microorganisms remain unknown.
