Complete reductive dechlorination of 1,2-Dichloropropane by anaerobic bacteria
Article Abstract:
The complete reductive dechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane by anaerobic bacteria derived from a freshwater river sediment was examined. Results show the formation of monochlorinated propanes and propene all microcosms derived from freshly sampled sediments. This proves the potential for anaerobic bacteria to fully dechlorinate halogenated propanes which play significant roles in environmental pollutant resistance.

Quantitative PCR targeting 16S rRNA and reductive dehalogenase genes simultaneously monitors multiple Dehalococcoides strains
Article Abstract:
A quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) approach targeting 16S rRNA genes and three Dehalococcoides reductive dehalogenase (RDase) genes with assigned function is designed and evaluated. A large number of Dehalococcoides spp. contains as-yet-unidentified RDase genes, indicating that the current understanding of the dechlorinating Dehalococcoides community is incomplete.

Populations implicate in anaerobic reductive dechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane in highly enriched bacterial communities
Article Abstract:
1,2-Dichloropropane (1,2-D) is ground water pollutant, which is scattered over a large area, and it could be reduced by dechlorinating to propene with the help of anaerobic bacteria. These results broaden the outlook of chloroorganic compounds utilized by Dehalococcoides species as electron acceptors to maintain the growth.
