Aroclor 1242 contains a high percentage of lightly chlorinated congeners, which makes it susceptible to congener profile alterations as a result of physical-chemical environmental weathering by water washing, evaporation, and volatilization. The analysis of the variability of congener profiles in
We have isolated and characterised a novel aerobic bacterial strain, designated MS3-02, belonging to the genus Janibacter sp. The capability of this new strain to degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a commercial mixture (Aroclor 1242) in liquid medium and in

This article demonstrates the feasibility of a novel process concept for the remediation of PCB contaminated soil. The proposed process consists of PCB extraction from soil using solid polymer beads, followed by biodegradation of the extracted PCBs in a solid-liquid

A polychlorinated biphenyls-degrading bacterium DN2, using biphenyl as sole carbon source and energy source, was isolated from long-term PCBs-contaminated soil. Through morphological observation and sequence analysis of 16S rDNA, the strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp.. By identification of bphA1
