Degradation of Delor 103, a technical mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls, by selected bacteria

Ability to utilize a technical mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), Delor 103, as the sole carbon source, has been tested in 14 bacterial strains. For the five best growing strains (Alcaligenes latus, Alcalgenes eutrophus, Comamonas testosteroni, Micrococcus varians and Pseudomonas putida), t...

Description
Summary:Ability to utilize a technical mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), Delor 103, as the sole carbon source, has been tested in 14 bacterial strains. For the five best growing strains (Alcaligenes latus, Alcalgenes eutrophus, Comamonas testosteroni, Micrococcus varians and Pseudomonas putida), the dependence of the degradation of individual PCB congeners on the number of chlorine substituents is discussed.
