Reductive dehalogenase of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1 reduces cobalt- containing metal complexes enabling anodic respiration.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms capable of direct or mediated extracellular electron transfer (EET) have garnered significant attention for their various biotechnological applications, such as bioremediation, metal recovery, wastewater treatment, energy generation in microbial fuel cells, and microbial or enzymatic electrosynthesis. One microorganism of particular interest is the organohalide-respiring bacterium Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1, known for its ability to reductively dehalogenate toxic and persistent halogenated organic compounds through organohalide respiration (OHR), using halogenated organics as terminal electron acceptors. A membrane-bound OHR protein complex couples electron transfer to proton translocation across the membrane, generating a proton motive force, which enables
