This book summarizes the current state of knowledge concerning
bacteria that use halogenated organic compounds as respiratory
electron acceptors. The discovery of organohalide-respiring
bacteria has expanded the range of electron acceptors used for
energy conservation, and serves as a prime example of how
scientific discoveries are enabling innovative engineering
solutions that have transformed remediation practice.
Individual chapters provide in-depth background information on
the discovery, isolation, phylogeny, biochemistry, genomic
features, and ecology of individual organohalide-respiring
genera, including
