Abstract excerpt
Desulfitobacterium sp. strain Y51 exhibits a strong dechlorinating activity for tetrachloroethene (PCE), converting it to cis-1,2-dichloroethene via trichloroethene by the action of the PceA reductive dehalogenase (encoded by pceA). The gene organization around the pceA gene cluster was determined to be in the following order: orf4, orf3, ISDesp1, pceA-B-C-T-mcpA, and ISDesp2, where the pceA gene cluster is...
