Abstract excerpt
Dissimilatory perchlorate reduction is an anaerobic respiratory pathway that in communities might be influenced by metabolic interactions. Because the genes for perchlorate reduction are horizontally transferred, previous studies have been unable to identify uncultivated perchlorate-reducing populations. Here we recovered metagenome-assembled genomes from perchlorate-reducing sediment enrichments and employed a...
