A bacterial chloroform reductive dehalogenase: purification and biochemical characterization
We report herein the purification of a chloroform (CF)-reducing enzyme, TmrA, from the membrane fraction of a strict anaerobe Dehalobacter sp. strain UNSWDHB to apparent homogeneity with an approximate 23-fold increase in relative purity compared to crude lysate. The membrane fraction obtained by ultracentrifugation was solubilized in Triton X-100 in the presence of glycerol, followed by purifi...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a bacterial dehalogenase with activity toward halogenated alkanes, alcohols and ethers.
An enzyme that is capable of hydrolytic conversion of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons to their corresponding alcohols was purified from a 1,6-dichlorohexane-degrading bacterium. The dehalogenase was found to be a monomeric protein of relative molecular mass 28,000. The affinity for its substrates was relatively low with Km values for short-chain haloalkanes in the range 0.1-0.9 mM. The aliph...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a novel 3-chlorobenzoate-reductive dehalogenase from the cytoplasmic membrane of Desulfomonile tiedjei DCB-1.
Although reductive dehalogenation by anaerobic microorganisms offers great potential for the degradation of halocarbons, little is known about the biochemical mechanisms involved. It has previously been demonstrated that the dehalogenase activity involved in 3-chlorobenzoate dehalogenation by Desulfomonile tiedjei DCB-1 is present in the membrane fraction of the cell extracts. We report herein ...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of Haloalcohol Dehalogenase from Arthrobacter
An enzyme capable of dehalogenating vicinal haloalcohols to their corresponding epoxides was purified from the 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol-utilizing bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain AD2. The inducible haloalcohol dehalogenase converted 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, 1-chloro-2-propanol, and their brominated analogs, 2-bromoethanol, as well as chloroacetone and 1,3-dichloroacet...
متن کاملBacterial diversity and reductive dehalogenase redundancy in a 1,2-dichloroethane-degrading bacterial consortium enriched from a contaminated aquifer
BACKGROUND Bacteria possess a reservoir of metabolic functionalities ready to be exploited for multiple purposes. The use of microorganisms to clean up xenobiotics from polluted ecosystems (e.g. soil and water) represents an eco-sustainable and powerful alternative to traditional remediation processes. Recent developments in molecular-biology-based techniques have led to rapid and accurate stra...
