Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of a Bacterium That Reductively Dechlorinates Tetrachloroethene to Ethene
TL;DR: Growth of strain 195 was resistant to ampicillin and vancomycin; its cell wall did not react with a peptidoglycan-specific lectin and its ultrastructure resembled S-layers of Archaea.
Book ChapterDOI
Physiological Ecology of Methanogens
TL;DR: Biological methanogenesis plays a major role in the carbon cycle on Earth and is the terminal step in carbon flow in many anaerobic habitats, including marine and freshwater sediments, marshes and swamps, flooded soils, bogs, geothermal habitats, and animal gastrointestinal tracts as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waste to bioproduct conversion with undefined mixed cultures: the carboxylate platform
TL;DR: To develop the carboxylate platform into an important system within biorefineries, it must understand the kinetic and thermodynamic possibilities of anaerobic pathways, understand the ecological principles underlying pathway alternatives, and develop superior separation technologies.
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

TL;DR: Genome analysis provides insights into the organism's complex nutrient requirements and suggests that an ancestor was a nitrogen-fixing autotroph.
