A gene cluster for chlorate metabolism in Ideonella dechloratans
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on chlorate-respiring bacterium Ideonella dechloratans. The authors have investigated chlorate reduction in this bacterium, and they describe the isolation and characterization of chlorate reductase from I. dechloratans, and the sequences for the genes encoding chlorate reductase.

Reductive dehalogenation of chlorobenzene congeners in cell extracts of Dehalococcoides sp. strain CBDB1
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on cell extracts with low protein concentration. The authors report that enzymatic reductive dehalogenation of tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorobenzenes has been shown in these cells derived from Dehalococcoides sp. strain CBDB1.
