This project investigates the microbial process of bacterial dehalorespiration, where specific bacteria degrade harmful halogenated compounds. By studying the enzymes involved, the project aims to enhance bioremediation techniques for pollutants like polychlorinated biphenyls and tetrachloroethene.
Bacterial dehalorespiration is a microbial respiratory process in which halogenated hydrocarbons, from natural or anthropogenic origin, act as terminal electron acceptors.
This leads to effective dehalogenation of these compounds, and as such their degradation and detoxification.
The bacterial species, their enzymes and other components responsible for this unusual metabolism have only recently been identified.
Unlocking the full potential of this process for bioremediation of persistent organoh…
