Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial dehalorespiration with chlorinated benzenes
TL;DR: According to their 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain CBDB1, Dehalococcoides ethenogenes and several uncultivated bacteria form a new bacterial cluster, of which strain CB DB1 is the first, so far, to thrive on a purely synthetic medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehalococcoides mccartyi gen. nov., sp. nov., obligately organohalide-respiring anaerobic bacteria relevant to halogen cycling and bioremediation, belong to a novel bacterial class, Dehalococcoidia classis nov., order Dehalococcoidales ord. nov. and family Dehalococcoidaceae fam. nov., within the phylum Chloroflexi.

TL;DR: Six obligately anaerobic bacterial isolates with strictly organohalide-respiring metabolisms obtained from chlorinated solvent-contaminated aquifers, contaminated and uncontaminated river sediments or anoxic digester sludge represent a new genus and species, for which the name Dehalococcoides mccartyi gen. nov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence of the PCE-Dechlorinating Bacterium Dehalococcoides ethenogenes
Rekha Seshadri,Lorenz Adrian,Derrick E. Fouts,Jonathan A. Eisen,Adam M. Phillippy,Barbara A. Methé,Naomi L. Ward,William C. Nelson,Robert T. DeBoy,Hoda Khouri,James F. Kolonay,Robert J.

Fraser,Stephen H. Zinder,John F. Heidelberg +24 more
TL;DR: Genome analysis provides insights into the organism's complex nutrient requirements and suggests that an ancestor was a nitrogen-fixing autotroph.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated dioxins by an anaerobic bacterium
Michael Bunge,Lorenz Adrian,A. Kraus,Matthias Opel,Wilhelm Lorenz,Jan R. Andreesen,Helmut Görisch,Ute Lechner +7 more
TL;DR: Reductive dechlorination of 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (PeCDD) demonstrates that environmentally significant dioxins are attacked by this bacterium, and the previously described chlorobenzene-dehalorespiring bacterium Dehalococcoides sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequence of the chlorinated compound–respiring bacterium Dehalococcoides species strain CBDB1
TL;DR: Comparison with the recently sequenced genome of Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 reveals a high degree of gene context conservation but exceptionally high plasticity in all regions containing rdh genes, suggesting that these regions are under intense evolutionary pressure.
