SummaryA microorganism, which utilizes tetrachloroethylene (PCE) as a sole source of metabolic carbon under aerobic conditions, has been isolated. It has been identified as aPseudomonas spp. Degradation of PCE by this bacterium was quantified by gas chromatography.

Tetrachloroethene-dehalogenating bacteria
TLDR
The present knowledge about the isolation of these organisms, their physiological characteristics, morphology, taxonomy and their ability to dechlorinate tetrachloroethene is presented to facilitate a comprehensive comparison.
Removal of tetrachloroethene from polluted air by activated sludge
TLDR
It has been shown that in the activated sludge bioreactor, bacteria adapted to PCE biodegradation and the wood chips protected microorganisms from the toxic effects of pollution.

Aerobic Metabolism of Trichloroethylene by a Bacterial Isolate
A number of soil and water samples were screened for the biological capacity to metabolize trichloroethylene. One water sample was found to contain this capacity, and a gram-negative, rod-shaped…
Trichloroethylene Biodegradation by a Methane-Oxidizing Bacterium
TLDR
It is proposed that TCE biodegradation by methanotrophs occurs by formation of TCE epoxide, which breaks down spontaneously in water to form dichloroacetic and glyoxylic acids and one-carbon products.

Degradation of trichloroethylene by toluene dioxygenase in whole-cell studies with Pseudomonas putida F1
TLDR
A series of mutant strains derived from P. putida F1 that are defective in the todC gene, which encodes the oxygenase component of toluene dioxygenase, failed to degrade trichloroethylene and to oxidize indole to indigo, and a spontaneous revertant selected from a tod C culture regained simultaneously the abilities to oxidizing toluenes, to form indigo and to degradetrichlorOethylene.
Urinary Metabolites of 14C-Tetrachloroethylene in Mice
TLDR
The present work was carried out in order to facilitate the estimation of health hazards caused by exposure to tetrachloroethylene.
Cytochrome P-450cam and Other Bacterial P-450 Enzymes
TLDR
The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the existing knowledge on the wide variety of bacterial cytochrome P-450 hemeproteins that have been discovered and to review the detailed biophysical, biochemical, and molecular biological studies conducted with this system.
Biotransformation of tetrachloroethylene to trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, and carbon dioxide under methanogenic conditions
TLDR
It is confirmed that PCE can be transformed by reductive dehalogenation to TCE, dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride (VC) under anaerobic conditions and suggested that potential exists for the complete mineralization of PCE to CO2 in soil and aquifer systems and in biological treatment processes.
