Characterization of the predicted membrane anchor of reductive dehalogenases

Julien Maillard, Lorenzo Cimmino, Marie Joanna Marie-Joseph Dannay

BACKGROUND Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a metabolic process that couples the reduction of halogenated organic compounds to energy conservation in a few phylogenetically diverse anaerobic bacteria. In this study, tetrachloroethene (= perchloroethene, P ...

Formation of brominated trihalomethanes during chlorination or ozonation of natural organic matter extracts and model compounds in saline water

Urs von Gunten

Oxidation experiments (chlorine, ozone and bromine) were carried out with synthetic saline waters containing natural organic matter (NOM) extracts and model compounds to evaluate the potential of these surrogates to mimic the formation of brominated trihal ...

In Situ Formation of Free Chlorine During ClO2 Treatment: Implications on the Formation of Disinfection Byproducts

Urs von Gunten

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is commonly used as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine in drinking water treatment because it produces limited concentrations of halogenated organic disinfection byproducts. During drinking water treatment, the primary ClO2 byp ...

In vivo regulation of organohalide respiration in Desulfitobacterium hafniense DCB-2

Julien Maillard, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin, Marie Vingerhoets, Céline Berruex

Background Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic respiratory metabolism which takes advantage of halogenated compounds (= organohalides) as terminal electron acceptors. While its environmental interest does not have to be demonstrated any ...

Development of new strategies to produce and characterize PceC, a membrane-bound flavoprotein involved in organohalide respiration

Christof Holliger, Lorenzo Cimmino

Halogenated organic compounds (so-called organohalides) represent one of the major widespread groundwater pollutants. Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process in which chlorinated compound, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), is used as te ...

Dehalobacter – a genus of anaerobic bacteria dedicated to organohalide degradation

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard

Abstract The genus Dehalobacter embraces bacterial populations that seem to exclusively degrade organohalides. All isolates in pure culture and highly enriched strains are obligate organohalide-respiring bacteria that use hydrogen as energy and electron so ...

Fixed Energy X-ray Absorption Voltammetry and Extended X-ray Absorption fine Structure of Ag nanoparticle electrodes

Christos Comninellis

FEXRAV (Fixed Energy X-ray Absorption Voltammetry) has been recently introduced as a powerful tool in electrochemistry. It consists in measuring the X-ray absorption coefficient at a fixed X-ray energy while the electrochemical potential of the material un ...

Thiazolium carbene catalysts for the fixation of CO2 onto amines

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Mylène Soudani, Safak Bulut, Shoubhik Das

The catalytic N-formylation and N-methylation of amines using CO2 as the carbon source represents a facile and sustainable approach for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Herein, we describe highly effective and inexpensive thiazolium c ...

Mechanistic Study on the Formation of Cl-/Br-/I-Trihalomethanes during Chlorination/Chloramination Combined with a Theoretical Cytotoxicity Evaluation

Urs von Gunten

Chlorination followed by chloramination can be used to mitigate the formation of potentially toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) while controlling the formation of regulated chloro-bromo-DBPs (Cl-/Br-DBPs). Water samples containing dissolved o ...

Trichloramine reactions with nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds: Kinetics, products and chloroform formation

Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica

Trichloramine is a hazardous disinfection by-product that is of particular relevance in indoor swimming pools. To better understand its fate in pool waters, apparent second order rate constants (kapp) at pH 7 for its reaction with several model compounds w ...
