Reductive Debromination of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers - Microbes, Processes and Dehalogenases

Reductive Debromination of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers - Microbes, Processes and Dehalogenases

Extensive utilization of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) as flame retardants since the 1960s in a variety of commercial products has resulted in ubiquitous environmental distribution of commercial PBDE mixtures. Dangers posed to biological populations became apparent after the discovery of el...
