Perchlorate reduction kinetics and genome-resolved metagenomics identify metabolic interactions in acclimated saline lake perchlorate-reducing consortia

•Enriched microbial consortia was capable of completely converting perchlorate into chloride.•The Michaelis-Menten kinetics of perchlorate reduction by the enriched consortium was investigated.•The draft genome of perchlorate-reducing bacteria Wolinella succinogenes was firstly recovered•The synergistic interactions within the perchlorate-reducing microbial community were reconstructed.
