Flavin-dependent halogenases selectively introduce halogen substituents into (hetero-)aromatic substrates and require only molecular oxygen and halide salts for this regioselective oxidative CH-functionalization. Genomic analysis of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris B100 identified three novel putative members of this enzyme class. They were shown to introduce halogen substituents into, e. g., substituted indoles, while preferring bromide over chloride. (Figure presented.).
