Roles of Organohalide-Respiring <italic toggle="yes">Dehalococcoidia</italic> in Carbon Cycling

ABSTRACT The class Dehalococcoidia within the Chloroflexi phylum comprises the obligate organohalide-respiring genera Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, and “Candidatus Dehalobium.” Knowledge of the unique ecophysiology and biochemistry of Dehalococcoidia has been largely derived from studies with en...
