ABSTRACT:
It has been discovered that an enzyme produced by Spartina alterniflora degrades halogenated organics. The present invention is therefore the use of the enzyme produced by genes of this plant to remediate soils contaminated with halogenated organics such as TCE, and to genetically alter other plants to produce this enzyme using the gene that produces plant dehaloperoxidase.
