The C–F bond is one of the strongest single bonds in nature. Although microbial reductive
dehalogenation is well known for the other organohalides, no microbial reductive …

Organohalide respiring bacteria (OHRB) express reductive dehalogenases for energy
conservation and growth. Some of these enzymes catalyze the reductive dehalogenation of …

Intensive historical and worldwide use of pesticide formulations containing
hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) has led to widespread contamination. We derived four …

Trichloroethene (TCE) bioremediation has been demonstrated at field sites using microbial
cultures harboring TCE-respiring Dehalococcoides whose growth is cobalamin (vitamin …

Using bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) to provide electrochemically generated hydrogen
is a promising technology to provide electron donors for reductive dechlorination by …

Chlorobenzenes are ubiquitous contaminants in groundwater and soil at many industrial
sites. Previously, we demonstrated the natural attenuation of chlorobenzenes and benzene …

The γ isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), also known as lindane, is a carcinogenic
persistent organic pollutant. Lindane was used worldwide as an agricultural insecticide …

Halogenated organic solvents such as chlorobenzenes (CBs) are frequent groundwater
contaminants due to legacy spills. When contaminated anaerobic groundwater discharges …

Microbes in ecosystems often develop coordinated metabolic interactions. Therefore,
understanding metabolic interdependencies between microbes is critical to deciphering …

Environmental contamination with toxic organohalides is of worldwide concern. Chlorinated
ethenes, benzenes, and pesticides are organohalides frequently found in contaminated soil …
