Exploring the genetic basis of microbial dehalogenation
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The role of microbial dehalogenation in the absence of anthropogenic compounds and its effect on the global halogen cycle is an interesting ecological question in and of itself. Furthermore, answering this question can help us mitigate the significant impact of anthropogenic organohalogens on environmental and human health. Detailed investigation into the acquisition, stability, and propagation of genes related to dehalogenating phenotypes is a key component to exploiting the natural halogen cycle for bioremediation of these contaminants. Through in-depth comparative genomic analyses, this dissertation provides insights into the evolution of organohalide respiration in Dehalococcoides spp. and cometabolic carbon tetrachloride mineralization with Pseudomonas stutzeri KC, providing crucial knowledge that can be applied to the bioremediation of anthropogenic organohalogens.
