The fluorinated compounds are becoming a ubiquitous class of environmental contaminants because of their widespread applications, and their fate is a matter of great concern under anaerobic environment. In this work, the biotransformation of five fluoronitrobenzenes (FNBs), i.e., 2-fluoronitrobenzene (2-FNB)
