Abstract

Reductive dehalogenation is coupled to energy conservation via electron transport phosphorylation in organohalide-respiring bacteria. The electron transfer to the terminal reductase, the corrinoid-containing reductive dehalogenase, leads to the formation of a proton gradient across the membrane. The architecture of the electron transfer chains differs between different phyla. Organohalide respiration is an important part of the global halogen cycle and of high relevance in bioremediation.
