Description for Organohalide Respiring Bacteria
Hardback. Editor(s): Adrian, Lorenz; Loffler, Frank E. Num Pages: 639 pages, 59 black & white illustrations, 35 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSGD; TQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 35. Weight in Grams: 1118.
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 Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, Dehalobacter, Desulfitobacterium and Sulfurospirillum, as well as organohalide-respiring members of the Deltaproteobacteria. The book introduces readers to the fascinating biology of organohalide-respiring ... Read more
