DHC targets Dehalococcoides specific sequences of the 16S rRNA gene which is present in all bacteria. The functional gene BAV1 R-Dase (bvcA) is present in a strain of Dehalococcoides (Bav1) that is known to catalyze the direct dechlorination of VC. The functional gene TCE R-Dase (tceA) is found in strains 195 and FL2 and catalyzes the dechlorination of TCE to VC. |
