Abstract

A total of 22 bacterial strains were isolated from PFAS-contaminated soil (Veneto, Italy), after a 5-month enrichment using perfluorooctanoic acid and heptafluorobutyric acid. Whole genomes were sequenced and screened with a curated database of dehalogenase-related proteins. All genomes showed potential for fluorinated compound transformation.
