Site-specific mobilization of vinyl chloride respiration islands by a mechanism common in Dehalococcoides.
BMC Genomics. 2011: 287
Vinyl chloride is a widespread groundwater pollutant and Group 1 carcinogen. A previous comparative genomic analysis revealed that the vinyl chloride reductase operon, vcrABC, of Dehalococcoides sp. strain VS is embedded in a horizontally-acquired genomic island that integrated at the single-copy tmRNA gene, ssrA.
