Addition of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 to the Dehalococcoides-containing culture enhances the trichloroethene dechlorination

Environment International, 2019
Dehalococcoides is able to completely dehalogenate tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene (ETH). However, the dechlorination efficiency of Dehalococcoides is low and result in the accumulation of toxic intermediates.

Obesity, Lifestyle Habits and Nutrients in Relation to Oral Ulcers: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Previous studies demonstrated a potential association between obesity, lifestyle habits, nutrients and mouth ulcers. However, this relationship remains inadequately examined. The current study seeks to further explore the associations between exposures and mouth ulcers, employing a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to ...

Metagenomic- and Cultivation-Based Exploration of Anaerobic Chloroform Biotransformation in Hypersaline Sediments as Natural Source of Chloromethanes

Microorganisms, 2020
Chloroform (CF) is an environmental contaminant that can be naturally formed in various environments ranging from forest soils to salt lakes. Here we investigated CF removal potential in sediments obtained from hypersaline lakes in Western Australia ...

HaloTag Fusion Enables Dynamic Analysis of Prion Protein Biosynthesis, Turnover, and Misfolding

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Prion protein (PrP) misfolding underlies fatal neurodegenerative diseases. We developed a HaloTag‐based PrP fusion enabling spatiotemporal labeling of distinct PrP populations in living cells. This system recapitulates native PrP biology, reveals early misfolding events in disease‐associated mutants, and allows mechanistic interrogation of PrP‐lowering

Selective enrichment yields robust ethene-producing dechlorinating cultures from microcosms stalled at cis-dichloroethene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains are of particular importance for bioremediation due to their unique capability of transforming perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to non-toxic ethene, through the intermediates cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE ...

Engineering Stealth Properties of Fluorescent Polymeric Nanoparticles by Short‐Chain Polysarcosine

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
To define the minimal polysarcosine chain length required for nanoparticle stealth properties, we engineered dye‐loaded polymeric nanoparticles functionalized with 5‐, 11‐, or 19‐mer peptoids. Only nanoparticles with 19‐mer polysarcosine achieved near‐neutral zeta potential, suppressed nonspecific interactions with glass surface and live cells ...

Detection of Organohalide-Respiring Enzyme Biomarkers at a Bioaugmented TCE-Contaminated Field Site

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
RNA-based biomarkers have been successfully detected at field sites undergoing in situ bioremediation, but the detection of expressed enzymes is a more direct way to prove activity for a particular biocatalytic process of interest since they provide ...

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...
