Chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination in soils and groundwater has a severe negative
impact on the human health. Microbial reductive dechlorination is a major degradation …

Fastidious anaerobic bacteria play critical roles in environmental bioremediation of
halogenated compounds. However, their characterization and application have been largely …

Plastics are invading nearly all ecosystems on earth, acting as emerging repositories for
toxic organic pollutants and thereby imposing substantial threats to ecological integrity. The …

Organohalide-respiring bacteria have key roles in the natural chlorine cycle; however, most
of the current knowledge is based on cultures from contaminated environments. We …

In situ remediation employing organohalide-respiring bacteria represents a promising
solution for cleanup of persistent organohalide pollutants. The organohalide-respiring …

Cyhalothrin is a common environmental pollutant which poses increased risks to non-target
organisms including human beings. This study reported for the first time a newly isolated …

Polluted urban river sediments could be a sink of persistent and toxic polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) in urban areas and provide desired growth niches for organohalide …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are
notorious persistent organic pollutants. However, few organohalide-respiring bacteria that …

Bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) is impeded by difficulties in massively
