The hybrid Pseudomonas cepacia strain JHR22 was tested for its ability to degrade Aroclor 1221 in soil. The influence of supplements--mineral salts and trace elements--on the degradation was investigated. Disappearance of Aroclor 1221 congeners, occurrence of metabolites, and release of

A bacterial co-culture, ECO3, constituted by a polychlorobiphenyl degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. strain CPE1, and two chlorobenzoic acid degrading bacteria, could grow on Aroclor 1221 (75 mg/L) as the sole carbon source without accumulating chlorinated aromatic metabolites in the medium;

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants. This study compared effects of two PCB mixtures, Aroclors 1221 (A1221) and 1254 (A1254) on serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), urea, creatinine and uric acid in
Differential effects of aroclors and DDT on growth factor gene expression and receptor tyrosine kinase activity in human breast epithelial cells.
