Naturally produced halogenated compounds are ubiquitous across all domains of life where
they perform a multitude of biological functions and adopt a diversity of chemical structures …

▪ Abstract The natural production and anthropogenic release of halogenated hydrocarbons
into the environment has been the likely driving force for the evolution of an unexpectedly …

Six obligately anaerobic bacterial isolates (195T, CBDB1, BAV1, VS, FL2 and GT) with
strictly organohalide-respiring metabolisms were obtained from chlorinated solvent …

Organohalide chemistry underpins many industrial and agricultural processes, and a large
proportion of environmental pollutants are organohalides. Nevertheless, organohalide …

Natural organic matter (NOM) serve as precursors for disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in
drinking water production making NOM removal essential in predisinfection treatment …

Biochar addition to soil has been generally associated with crop yield increases observed in
some soils, and increased nutrient availability is one of the mechanisms proposed. Any …

The antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) is banned from food production. Besides being a
medicinal product, CAP is also a natural product, produced by Streptomyces Venezuelae …

The phylum Chloroflexi contains several isolated bacteria that have been found to respire a
diverse array of halogenated anthropogenic chemicals. The distribution and role of these …

Extensive use and inadequate disposal of chloroethenes have led to prevalent groundwater
contamination worldwide. The occurrence of the lesser chlorinated ethenes [ie vinyl chloride …

Heme-thiolate haloperoxidases are undoubtedly the most versatile biocatalysts of the
