Augmentation of an Engineered Bacterial Strain Potentially Improves the Cleanup of PCB Water Pollution

ABSTRACT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are recalcitrant organohalide pollutants, consisting of 209 congeners. PCB cleanup in natural landscapes is expected to be achieved by the metabolic activity of microorganisms, but aerobic PCB-degrading bacteria that inhabit sites polluted by PCBs cannot deg...
