Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of cis-Dichloroethene as the Sole Carbon Source by a β-Proteobacterium
TL;DR: An aerobic bacterium capable of growth on cis-dichloroethene (cDCE) as a sole carbon and energy source was isolated by enrichment culture, indicating that the isolate was a β-proteobacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic and kinetic diversity of aerobic vinyl chloride-assimilating bacteria from contaminated sites.
TL;DR: The results indicate that aerobic VC-degrading microorganisms (predominantly Mycobacterium strains) are widely distributed at sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents and are likely to be responsible for the natural attenuation of VC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic biodegradation of the chloroethenes: pathways, enzymes, ecology, and evolution
TL;DR: This review will summarize the current knowledge of the physiology, biodegradation pathways, genetics, ecology, and evolution of VC- and cDCE-assimilating bacteria, suggesting that they are widespread and influential in aerobic natural attenuation of VC.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome of Polaromonas sp. Strain JS666: Insights into the Evolution of a Hydrocarbon- and Xenobiotic-Degrading Bacterium, and Features of Relevance to Biotechnology
Timothy E. Mattes,Anne K. Alexander,Paul G. Richardson,A. Christine Munk,Cliff Han,Paul Stothard,Nicholas V. Coleman +6 more
TL;DR: The JS666 genome sequence provides insights into the evolution of pollutant-degrading bacteria and provides a toolbox of catabolic genes with utility for biotechnology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and molecular genetic analyses of vinyl chloride and ethene biodegradation in Nocardioides sp. strain JS614.
TL;DR: Reverse transcription-PCR demonstrated the vinyl chloride- and ethene-inducible nature of several genes and revealed a 290-kb plasmid (pNoc614) in JS614, which encodes vinyl chloride/ethene-degradation genes.
