Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are stable organic molecules that were widely used
during 1930s and 1940s. Because of their widespread use, PCBs have entered the …

This review summarizes recent research results on the biodegradation of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs). These compounds, commonly believed to be indestructible, have …

We designed a rapid assay that assesses the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degradative
competence and congener specificity of aerobic microorganisms, identifies strains capable …

Each year, tons of various types of molecules pollute our environment, and their elimination
is one of the major challenges human kind is facing. Among the strategies to eliminate these …

We have isolated and characterized a strain of Alcaligenes eurtrophus, designated H850,
that rapidly degrades a broad and unusual spectrum of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) …

The aim of this project was to determine the biodegradability of all the organic compounds
listed on the EPA Consent Decree. A static-flask screening procedure, using wastewater …

Previous studies indicated that Alcaligenes eutrophus H850 attacks a different spectrum of
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners than do most PCB-degrading bacteria and that …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in wildlife samples were first reported in Sweden in 1966,
and later reported in several European countries, North America, and Japan. These …

Rhodococcus globerulus P6 (previously designated Acinetobacter sp. strain P6,
Arthrobacter sp. strain M5, and Corynebacterium sp. strain MB1) is able to degrade a wide …

A pilot plant study was conducted to evaluate the fate and behavior of 22 toxic organic
compounds (four pesticides, three phenols, six phthalates, and nine PAHs) in conventional …
