Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are keystone microbes in bioremediation of sites contaminated with organohalides and in natural halogen cycling. Known OHRB belong to distinct genera within the phyla Chloroflexota, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes, whereas information about novel OHRB mediating natural halogen cycling remains scarce. In this study, we applied a genome-resolved transcriptomic approach to characterize the identity and activity of OHRB from tetrachloroethene respiring cultures previously enriched from sediments of Aarhus Bay.
