  • sustained dechlorination of vinyl chloride to ethene in dehalococcoides enriched cultures grown without addition of exogenous vitamins and at low ph
    Environmental Science & Technology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Luz Puentes A Jacome, Olivia Molenda, Pohsiang Wang, Ahsanul M Islam, Elizabeth A Edwards
    Abstract:

    Trichloroethene (TCE) bioremediation has been demonstrated at field sites using microbial cultures harboring TCE-respiring Dehalococcoides whose growth is cobalamin (vitamin B12)-dependent. Bioaugm...

  • mechanistic dichotomy in bacterial Trichloroethene dechlorination revealed by carbon and chlorine isotope effects
    Environmental Science & Technology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Christina Lihl, Elizabeth A Edwards, Martina Daubmeier, Armin H Meyer, Barbara Sherwood Lollar, Lisa M. Douglas, Steffi Franke, Ivonne Nijenhuis, Alfredo Perezdemora, Martin Elsner
    Abstract:

    Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and Trichloroethene (TCE) are significant groundwater contaminants. Microbial reductive dehalogenation at contaminated sites can produce nontoxic ethene but often stops at t...

  • quantifying the effects of 1 1 1 trichloroethane and 1 1 dichloroethane on chlorinated ethene reductive dehalogenases
    Environmental Science & Technology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Winnie W M Chan, Ariel Grostern, Frank E Loffler, Elizabeth A Edwards
    Abstract:

    Mixtures of chlorinated ethenes and ethanes are often found at contaminated sites. In this study, we undertook a systematic investigation of the inhibitory effects of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) on chlorinated ethene dechlorination in three distinct Dehalococcoides-containing consortia. To focus on inhibition acting directly on the reductive dehalogenases, dechlorination assays used cell-free extracts prepared from cultures actively dechlorinating Trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene. The dechlorination assays were initiated with TCE, cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE), or vinyl chloride (VC) as substrates and either 1,1,1-TCA or 1,1-DCA as potential inhibitors. 1,1,1-TCA inhibited VC dechlorination similarly in cell suspension and cell-free extract assays, implicating an effect on the VC reductases associated with the dechlorination of VC to nontoxic ethene. Concentrations of 1,1,1-TCA in the range of 30–270 μg/L reduced VC dechlorination rates by approximately 50% relative t...

  • chloroform respiration to dichloromethane by a dehalobacter population
    Environmental Microbiology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ariel Grostern, Melanie Duhamel, Sandra Dworatzek, Elizabeth A Edwards
    Abstract:

    Summary Chloroform (CF), or trichloromethane, is an ubiquitous environmental pollutant because of its widespread industrial use, historically poor disposal and recalcitrance to biodegradation. Chloroform is a potent inhibitor of metabolism and no known organism uses it as a growth substrate. We discovered that CF was rapidly and sustainably dechlorinated in the course of investigating anaerobic reductive dechlorination of 1,1,1-trichloroethane in a Dehalobacter-containing culture. Like 1,1,1-trichloroethane dechlorination in this culture, CF dechlorination was a growth-linked respiratory process, requiring H2 as an electron donor and CF as an electron acceptor. Moreover, the same specific reductive dehalogenase likely catalyzed both reactions. This Dehalobacter population appears specialized for substrates with three halogen substituents on the same carbon atom, with widespread implications for bioremediation.

  • 1 1 1 trichloroethane and 1 1 dichloroethane reductive dechlorination kinetics and co contaminant effects in a dehalobacter containing mixed culture
    Environmental Science & Technology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ariel Grostern, Winnie W M Chan, Elizabeth A Edwards
    Abstract:

    1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) is a common groundwater contaminant that can be reductively dechlorinated to 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and monochloroethane, and can support the growth of certain dehalorespiring strains of Dehalobacter. We used reductive dehalogenase cell-free extract assays (with reduced methyl viologen) and whole cell suspension dechlorination assays (with hydrogen) and a Dehalobacter-containing enrichment culture to explore the kinetics of 1,1,1-TCA and 1,1-DCA reductive dechlorination in the presence of the common co-contaminants Trichloroethene (TCE), cis-dichloroethene (cDCE), and vinyl chloride (VC). These chlorinated ethenes were most significant inhibitors of 1,1,1-TCA dechlorination in cell-free extracts, indicating direct effects on the reductive dehalogenase enzyme(s). The inhibition was present but less pronounced in whole cell suspension assays. None of the chlorinated ethenes inhibited 1,1-DCA dechlorination in cell-free extract assays, yet cDCE and particularly VC were...
