An overview is given of the pathways for the degradation and transformation of selected brominated and iodinated aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Although greater emphasis is placed on reactions mediated by microorganisms, examples of important abiotic reactions are also given. A mechanistic outline of the enzymology is provided when possible and comparisons are made with the chlorinated analogues which have been more extensively studied.
