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 andSulfurospirillum, as well as organohalide-respiring members of the Deltaproteobacteria. The book introduces readers to the fascinating biology of organohalide-respiring bacteria, offering a valuable resource for students, engineers and practitioners alikeSummary: Part I: Introduction -- Part II: Diversity of organohalide-respiring bacteria -- Part III: Ecology of organohalide-respiring bacteria -- Part IV: Genomics and regulation of organohalide-respiring bacteria -- Part V: Biochemistry of organohalide-respiring bacteria -- Part VI: Applications -- Part VII: OutlookPPN: PPN: 1658607376Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SBL
