This review summarizes the bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies proposed
so far to detoxify PCB-contaminated sites. A critical analysis about the potential and limits of …

Ring-cleaving dioxygenases catalyze the oxygenolytic fission of catecholic compounds, a
critical step in the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria. Two classes of …

The microbial degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been extensively
studied in recent years. The genetic organization of biphenyl catabolic genes has been …

Microbial metabolism is responsible for the removal of persistent organic pollutants
including PCBs from the environment. Anaerobic dehalogenation of highly chlorinated …

Ring-cleaving dioxygenases catalyze key reactions in the aerobic microbial degradation of
aromatic compounds. Many pathways converge to catecholic intermediates, which are …

It is more than 40 years since the environmental contamination of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) was first reported in wildlife samples. Since then, a huge number of papers on PCBs …

Electronic waste is termed as e-waste and on recycling it produces environmental pollution.
Among these e-waste pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are significantly …

The accumulation of organic pollutants in the environment can cause serious problems,
affecting negatively the stability of many aquatic ecosystems and can also cause adverse …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of TB, possesses a cholesterol catabolic
pathway implicated in pathogenesis. This pathway includes an iron-dependent extradiol …

Dioxins include polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDFs), and part of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Only the compounds that are …
