Chlorinated organic compounds are widely used as solvents, but they are pollutants that can
have adverse effects on the environment and human health. Dissimilatory iron-reducing …

The stability and function of a microbial community depends on nutritional interactions
among community members such as the cross-feeding of essential small molecules …

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 …

Chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in soils and groundwater has a severe negative
impact on the human health. Microbial reductive dechlorination is a major degradation …

A significant health risk is associated with chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in soils
and groundwater. Microbial reductive dechlorination, one of the major pathways of …

Monitored natural attenuation (MNA) of chlorinated ethenes (CEs) has proven to be a cost-
effective and environment-friendly approach for groundwater remediation. In this study, the …

The deep subseafloor biosphere supports a diverse population of prokaryotes belonging to
the Bacteria and Archaea. Most of the taxonomic groups identified by molecular methods …

Bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes in anoxic aquifers hinges on organohalide-respiring
Dehalococcoidia expressing vinyl chloride (VC) reductive dehalogenase (RDase). The tceA …

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, North America began to grapple with the legacy of past
disposal practices for toxic chemicals. With the passage in 1980 of the Comprehensive …

For many bacteria with sequenced genomes, we do not understand how they synthesize
some amino acids. This makes it challenging to reconstruct their metabolism, and has led to …
