Abstract
Enzymatic reductive dehalogenation of tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorobenzenes was demonstrated in cell extracts with low protein concentration (0.5 to 1 micro g of protein/ml) derived from the chlorobenzene-respiring anaerobe Dehalococcoides sp. strain CBDB1. 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene dehalogenase activity was associated with the membrane fraction. Light-reversible inhibition by alkyl iodides indicated the presence of a corrinoid cofactor.Entities:
