| metabolism of dichloromethane by the strict anaerobe dehalobacterium formicoaceticum. | the metabolism of dichloromethane by dehalobacterium formicoaceticum in cell suspensions and crude cell extracts was investigated. the organism is a strictly anaerobic gram-positive bacterium that utilizes exclusively dichloromethane as a growth substrate and ferments this compound to formate and acetate in a molar ratio of 2:1. when [c]dichloromethane was degraded by cell suspensions, formate, the methyl group of acetate, and minor amounts of methanol were labeled, but there was no nuclear magn ... | 1998 | 16349505 |
