Allyl chloride respiration by Dehalobacter shapes the fate of 1,2,3-trichloropropane
The synthetic compound 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) is a persistent groundwater contaminant and probable human carcinogen for which effective detoxification pathways remain limited. Under anoxic conditions, microbial transformation of 1,2,3-TCP typically stalls at the intermediate allyl chloride, preventing compl...
