The microbial populations in PCB-contaminated electric power substation capacitor bank soil (TVA soil) and from another PCB-contaminated site (New England soil) were compared to determine their potential to degrade PCB. Known biphenyl operon genes were used as gene probes in
Dechlorination was the initial step of 2CB biodegradation in four 2-chlorobenzoate-degrading methanogenic consortia. Selected characteristics of ortho reductive dehalogenation were examined in consortia developed from the highest actively dechlorinating dilutions of the original 2CB consortia, designated consortia M34(-9), P20(-9), P21(-9)

TfdT is a LysR-type transcriptional regulator that activates the transcription of the chlorocatechol degradative gene operon tfdCDEF of the chlorobenzoate-degrading bacterium Burkholderia sp. NK8. To identify the amino acids involved in the effector recognition by TfdT, a polymerase-chain-reaction-based random mutagenesis
A study was made of the metabolic and co-metabolic intermediates of 2- and 3-chlorobenzoate, 2,3- and 3,5-dichlorobenzoate to elucidate the mechanism(s) involved in the negative effects observed on the growth of a chlorobenzoate-degrading microbial consortium in the presence of mixed

The feasibility of applying bacterial hemoglobin technology to degrade 2-chlorobenzoate (2-CBA) through co-metabolism under hypoxic conditions in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process has been studied in the laboratory. 2-chlorobenzoate removal and chloride release rates in the MBR system varied from
