| Abstract | Widespread polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) contamination poses risks to human health and ecosystems. Bioremediation is widely considered to be a less ecologically disruptive strategy for remediation of organohalide contamination, but bioremediation of PBDE-contaminated sites is limited by a lack of knowledge about PBDE-dehalogenating microbial populations. Here we report anaerobic PBDE debromination in microcosms established from geographically distinct e-waste recycling sites. Complete debromination of a penta-BDE mixture to diphenyl ether was detected in 16 of 24 investigated microcosms; further enrichment of these 16 microcosms implicated microbial populations belonging to the bacterial genera Dehalococcoides, Dehalogenimonas, and Dehalobacter in PBDE debromination. Debrominating microcosms tended to contain either both Dehalogenimonas and Dehalobacter or Dehalococcoides alone. Separately, complete debromination of a penta-BDE mixture was also observed by axenic cultures of Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains CG1, CG4, and 11a5, suggesting that this phenotype may be fairly common amongst Dehalococcoides. PBDE debromination in these isolates was mediated by four reductive dehalogenases not previously known to debrominate PBDEs. Debromination of an octa-BDE mixture was less prevalent and less complete in microcosms. The PBDE reductive dehalogenase homologous genes in Dehalococcoides genomes represent plausible molecular markers to predict PBDE debromination in microbial communities via their prevalence and transcriptions analysis. |
