Potential of Microbial Communities to Perform Dehalogenation Processes in Natural and Anthropogenically Modified Environments—A Metagenomic Study
Halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) pose a serious problem for the environment. Many are highly toxic and accumulate both in soil and in organisms. Their biological transformation takes place by dehalogenation, in which the halogen substituents are detached from the carbon in the organic compound b...
