Cells of an aerobic three-membered bacterial co-culture, designated as ECO3, capable of cometabolizing and aerobically dechlorinating low-chlorinated biphenyls in the presence of biphenyl, were immobilized on Manville silica beads, on frosted-glass beads and on polyurethane foam cubes in packed-bed bioreactors
Toxicity of PCBs (Aroclor-1221, 1254) to embryos and larvae of Xenopus laevis.

Polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons such as polychlorinated biphenyls and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are extremely stable and widely distributed environmental pollutants. These chemicals are animal carcinogens and probable human carcinogens, and TCDD is possibly one of the most potent toxins ever evaluated by
Contaminated sites in Lagos, Nigeria were screened for the presence of chlorobiphenyl-degrading bacteria. The technique of continual enrichment on Askarel fluid yielded bacterial isolates able to utilize dichlorobiphenyls (diCBs) as growth substrates and six were selected for further studies. Phenotypic

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a family of toxicants that persist in measurable quantities in human and wildlife tissues, despite their ban in production in 1977. Some PCB mixtures can act as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) by mimicking or antagonizing the
