Para entender el termino en este contexto

In cometabolic RDE, organohalides
are not used as terminal electron acceptors. Generally, anaerobic
respiration is relatively inefficient in that electrons
produced during substrate oxidation lose energy in the electron
transport chain. In cases of excess substrate, high-energy
electrons, ‘‘hot electrons,’’ accumulate, creating a redox
potential imbalance. However, microbes may gain protection
from ‘‘hot-energy’’ electrons by halo-scavenging, thereby
providing an advantage to microbes that conduct halorespiration
(Barkovskii 2001).

Gracias por su labor.

halogeno empobrecido/desactivado/eliminado


Explanation:
A scavenger in chemistry is a chemical substance added to a mixture in order to remove or de-activate impurities and unwanted reaction products, for example oxygen, to make sure that they will not do any unfavorable reactions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger_(chemistry)
Los desactivadores retiran electrones del anillo, y por tanto dificultan la reaccion, como el grupo nitro (NO2) y los halógenos

empobrecido porque perdió electrones de su anillo. Por la misma idea está desactivado puenos no puede entrar en reacción y/o eliminado porque no participa en la reacción química.

Uranio empobrecido .
Using this as a reference with respect to "halogeno empobrecido/desactivado/removido" when one applies the definition for scavenging above.
El término correcto es "depleted uranium"
