Abstract: Abstract Dehalobacter is a genus of organohalide-respiring bacteria that is recognized for its fastidious growth using reductive dehalogenases (RDases). In the SC05 culture, however, a Dehalobacter population also mineralizes dichloromethane (DCM) produced by chloroform dechlorination… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT SC05-UT is an anaerobic, heterogenous microbial enrichment culture that reduces chloroform to dichloromethane through reductive dechlorination, which it further mineralizes to carbon dioxide. This dichloromethane mineralization yields electron equivalents that are used to reduce… read more here.
