A flavin-dependent halogenase from metagenomic analysis prefers bromination over chlorination.

Flavin-dependent halogenases catalyse halogenation of aromatic compounds. In most cases, this reaction proceeds with high regioselectivity and requires only the presence of FADH2, oxygen, and halide salts.
