The heme-based chlorite dismutases catalyze the unimolecular decomposition of chlorite (ClO<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup>) to yield Cl<sup>-</sup> and O<sub>2</sub>. The work presented here shows that chlorite dismutase from <i>Dechloromonas aromatica</i> (<i>Da</i>Cld) also catalyzes the decomposition of bromite (BrO<sub>2</sub> <sup>-</sup>) with the evolution of O<sub>2</sub> (<i>k</i> <sub>cat</sub> = (2.0±0.2)×10<sup>2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>; <i>k</i> <sub>cat</sub>/<i>K</i> <sub>M</sub> = (1.2±0. ...[more]
