qPCR Target Information

Dehalobacter (DHB) is a strictly anaerobic genus which are capable of dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes (PCE and TCE to cDCE), chlorinated ethanes (1,1,1-TCA, 1,2-DCA to ethene) and chlorinated methanes (chloroform and dichloromethane) to acetate.

Dehalobacter UNSWDHB is the key strain used in Micronovo’s AusCF high performance organo-halide respiring bacteria culture mix for dechlorination of CF to DCM to harmless acetate.
