Contamination by chloroethenes has a severe negative effect on both the environment and
human health. This has prompted intensive remediation activity in recent years, along with …

Organohalides are recalcitrant pollutants that have been responsible for substantial
contamination of soils and groundwater. Organohalide-respiring bacteria (ORB) provide a …

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 …

Bacteria and Archaea play critical roles in marine energy fluxes and nutrient cycles by
incorporating and redistributing dissolved organic matter and inorganic nutrients in the …

A wide range of phylogenetically diverse microorganisms couple the reductive
dehalogenation of organohalides to energy conservation. Key enzymes of such anaerobic …

Halogenated organic compounds (organohalides) are globally prevalent, recalcitrant toxic,
