Resolution of Culture Clostridium bifermentans DPH-1 into Two Populations, a Clostridium sp. and Tetrachloroethene-Dechlorinating Desulfitobacterium hafniense Strain JH1▿

摘要

Clostridium bifermentans strain DPH-1 reportedly dechlorinates tetrachloroethene (PCE) to cis-1,2-dichloroethene. Cultivation-based approaches resolved the DPH-1 culture into two populations: a nondechlorinating Clostridium sp. and PCE-dechlorinating Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain JH1. Strain JH1 carries pceA, encoding a PCE reductive dehalogenase, and shares other characteristics with Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain Y51.
