Rapid industrialization and population explosion has resulted in the generation and
dumping of various contaminants into the environment. These harmful compounds …

The possible approaches for in situ aerobic cometabolism of aquifers and vadose zones
contaminated by chlorinated solvents are critically evaluated. Bioaugmentation of resting …

The following sections summarize the major topics involved in in situ bioremediation of
soluble phase (dissolved) chlorinated solvents in groundwater. This introduction is designed …

Bioremediation has historically been approached as a 'black box'in terms of our fundamental
understanding. Thus it succeeds and fails, seldom without a complete understanding of why …

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was coupled with reverse transcription (RT) to analyze both gene
copy numbers and transcripts of the 16S rRNA gene and three reductive dehalogenase …

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, short-chain C1 to C3 chlorinated aliphatic
hydrocarbons (CAHs) have been manufactured in large amounts and extensively used in …

Dehalococcoides bacteria that produce catabolic vinyl chloride (VC) reductive
dehalogenase enzymes have been implicated as a requirement for successful biological …

Estuaries in the areas prone to anthropogenic activities are exposed to multifarious
pollutants. Toxic concentrations of heavy metals do exist with persistent organic compounds …

This study characterizes the transcriptional expression of the reductive dehalogenase
(RDase)-encoding tceA and vcrA genes and evaluates their applicability as potential …

Reductive dehalogenases are corrinoid and iron–sulfur cluster–containing enzymes that
catalyze the reductive removal of a halogen atom. The oxygen-sensitive and membrane …
