Dichloromethane (DCM) is susceptible to microbial degradation under anoxic conditions and is metabolized via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway; however, mechanistic understanding of carbon-chlorine bond cleavage is lacking. The microbial consortium RM contains the DCM degrader " Dichloromethanomonas elyunquensis" strain RM, which strictly requires DCM as a growth substrate. Proteomic workflows applied to DCM-grown consortium RM biomass revealed a total of 1,705 nonredundant proteins, 521 of which could be assigned to strain RM. In the presence of DCM, strain RM expressed a complete set of Wood-Ljungdahl pathway enzymes, as well as proteins implicated in chemotaxis, motility, sporulation, and vitamin/cofactor synthesis. Four corrinoid-dependent methyltransferases were among the most abundant proteins. Notably, two of three putative reductive dehalogenases (RDases) encoded within strain RM's genome were also detected in high abundance. Expressed RDase 1 and RDase 2 shared 30% amino acid identity, and RDase 1 was most similar to an RDase of strain WBC-2 (AOV99960, 52% amino acid identity), while RDase 2 was most similar to an RDase of sp. strain UNSWDHB (EQB22800, 72% amino acid identity). Although the involvement of RDases in anaerobic DCM metabolism has yet to be experimentally verified, the proteome characterization results implicated the possible participation of one or more reductive dechlorination steps and methyl group transfer reactions, leading to a revised proposal for an anaerobic DCM degradation pathway. Naturally produced and anthropogenically released DCM can reside in anoxic environments, yet little is known about the diversity of organisms, enzymes, and mechanisms involved in carbon-chlorine bond cleavage in the absence of oxygen. A proteogenomic approach identified two RDases and four corrinoid-dependent methyltransferases expressed by the DCM degrader " Dichloromethanomonas elyunquensis" strain RM, suggesting that reductive dechlorination and methyl group transfer play roles in anaerobic DCM degradation. These findings suggest that the characterized DCM-degrading bacterium and " Dichloromethanomonas elyunquensis" strain RM utilize distinct strategies for carbon-chlorine bond cleavage, indicating that multiple pathways evolved for anaerobic DCM metabolism. The specific proteins (e.g., RDases and methyltransferases) identified in strain RM may have value as biomarkers for monitoring anaerobic DCM degradation in natural and contaminated environments.
