Reductive dehalogenation as a respiratory process [PDF]
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1994 Anaerobic bacteria can reductively dehalogenate aliphatic and aromatic halogenated compounds in a respiratory process. Only a few of these bacteria have been isolated in pure cultures. However, long acclimation periods, substrate specificity, high dehalogenation rates, and the possibility to enrich for the dehalogenation activity by subcultivation in ...

Molecules, 2014 Chlorinated ethenes are prevalent groundwater contaminants. To better constrain (bio)chemical reaction mechanisms of reductive dechlorination, the position-specificity of reductive trichloroethene (TCE) dehalogenation was investigated.

Microbial reductive dehalogenation [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1992 A wide variety of compounds can be biodegraded via reductive removal of halogen substituents. This process can degrade toxic pollutants, some of which are not known to be biodegraded by any other means. Reductive dehalogenation of aromatic compounds has been found primarily in undefined, syntrophic anaerobic communities.

Reductive Cytochrome P450 Reactions and Their Potential Role in Bioremediation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Cytochrome P450 enzymes, or P450s, are haem monooxygenases renowned for their ability to insert one atom from molecular oxygen into an exceptionally broad range of substrates while reducing the other atom to water. However, some substrates including many

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain BTF08 has the unique property to couple complete dechlorination of tetrachloroethene and 1,2-dichloroethane to ethene with growth by using the halogenated compounds as terminal electron acceptor. The genome of strain BTF08

Microbial reductive dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2000 Under anaerobic conditions, microbial reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) occurs in soils and aquatic sediments. In contrast to dechlorination of supplemented single congeners for which frequently ortho dechlorination has been observed, reductive dechlorination mainly attacks meta and/or para chlorines of PCB mixtures in ...

Bio-Protocol, 2014 Reductive dehalogenation has been found primarily in anaerobic communities and is originally thought to rarely occur in aerobes. A reductive dehalogenase (BhbA) was characterized from an aerobic strain of Comamonas sp.

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 ...
