Clostridium TCAIIB

Clostridium TCAIIB amino adds/ 1,1.1- trichloroethane unknown enzymes [71]... 

As shown in Figure 4, 1,1,1 TCA is transformed by parallel abiotic and biotic pathways. Dehydrohalogenation yields 1,1-DCE [45]. As shown in pathway 1, 1,1-DCE is susceptible to reductive dehalogenation to vinyl chloride. Abiotic or biotic hydrolysis of TCA is illustrated by pathway 3 of Figure 4 [11]. Reductive dechlorination of TCA to 1,1-DCA [27,31,34,69] and chloroethane (CA) is illustrated in pathway 2 [31,34, 69,70]. CA apparently undergoes hydrolysis to ethanol (a nonvolatile product), followed by oxidation of the ethanol to CO [31]. In many systems, the above pathways operate simultaneously. For example, Clostridium sp. strain TCAIIB, transformed TCA to 1,1-DCA ( 30-40%), acetic acid (7%), and unidentified products (45%) [71].
