AbstractOrganohalide-respiring bacteria are key organisms for the bioremediation of soils and aquifers contaminated with halogenated organic compounds. The major players in this process are respiratory reductive dehalogenases, corrinoid enzymes that use organohalides as substrates and contribute to energy conservation. Here, we present the structure of a menaquinol:organohalide oxidoreductase obtained by cryo-EM.
