Organohalide-Respiring Bacteria

Zusatztext

<div>This book summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning bacteria that use halogenated organic compounds as respiratory electron acceptors. The discovery of organohalide-respiring bacteria has expanded the range of electron acceptors used for energy conservation, and serves as a prime example of how scientific discoveries are enabling innovative engineering solutions that have transformed remediation practice. Individual chapters provide in-depth background information on the discovery, isolation, phylogeny, biochemistry, genomic features, and ecology of individual organohalide-respiring genera, including<i>Dehalococcoides</i>,<i>Dehalogenimonas</i>,<i>Dehalobacter</i>,<i>Desulfitobacterium</i>and<i>Sulfurospirillum</i>, as well as organohalide-respiring members of the Deltaproteobacteria. The book introduces readers to the fascinating biology of organohalide-respiring bacteria, offering a valuable resource for students, engineers and practitioners alike.<br></div><br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
