Chlorine redox chemistry is widespread in microbiology

Chlorine is abundant in cells and biomolecules, yet the biology of chlorine oxidation and reduction is poorly understood. Some bacteria encode the enzyme chlorite dismutase (Cld), which detoxifies chlorite (ClO(2)(−)) by converting it to chloride (Cl(−)) and molecular oxygen (O(2)). Cld is highly sp...
