Dehalobacter restrictus conducts anaerobic respiration by: A) reducing aromatic rings of lignin-derived compounds B) donating electrons to Fe³⁺, converting it to Fe²⁺in mine ores C) donating electrons to Cl atoms, effectively performing dechlorination D) donating electrons to NO₃^-, converting via denitrification to NO₂^- E) donating electrons to SO₄²^-, converting it to HS^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dehalobacter restrictus is known for its ability to perform dechlorination by donating electrons to chlorine atoms. This process helps to remove chlorinated contaminants from the environment through anaerobic respiration.
