Abstract excerpt
Dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase allows methylotrophic bacteria to grow with dichloromethane (DCM), a predominantly man-made compound. Bacteria growing with DCM by virtue of this enzyme have been readily isolated in the past. So far, the sequence of the dcmA gene encoding DCM dehalogenase has been determined for Methylobacterium dichloromethanicum DM4 and Methylophilus sp. DM11. DCM...
