Bacterial dehalogenases for organohalide and organofluorine remediation: Mechanistic insights, evidence gaps, and future relevance to GenX treatment.
Bacterial dehalogenase enzymes catalyze the cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds and play important roles in the microbial transformation of many halogenated contaminants. This review critically examines major classes of bacterial dehalogenases, including haloalkane dehalogenases, haloacid dehalogenases, fluoroacetate deha...
