Download or read book Organohalide Respiration: New Findings in Metabolic Mechanisms and Bioremediation Applications written by Shanquan Wang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial reductive dehalogenation mediated by organohalide-respiring bacteria plays a critical role in the natural halogen cycle, representing a promising solution for removal of organohalide pollutants. This Research Topic presents many of the more recent advances that have been made in this area. Authors from leading research groups contributed to this eBook, and provided mechanistic insights into organohalide respiration, as well as their bioremediation implications, at molecular, cellular, community and system levels.
