Abstract

The halogenated hydrocarbons have been widely used by human beings. They are xenobiotic and toxic. The microbes having a specific group of hydrolase enzymes, known as dehalogenases, that actually break the carbon-halogen bonds of the halogenated substances and subsequently convert them into their non-toxic forms. In this chapter, the categories of dehalogenase enzymes possessed by microorganisms are narrated. The overall source, mechanism of catalysis, and structural aspects of the haloalkane dehalogenase enzymes have been discussed with special focus to the bioremediation of 1, 2 dichloroethane.
