Microbial growth on dichlorobiphenyls chlorinated on both rings as a sole carbon and energy source
Abstract
We have isolated bacterial strains capable of aerobic growth on ortho-substituted dichlorobiphenyls as sole carbon and energy sources. During growth on 2,2'-dichlorobiphenyl and 2,4'-dichlorobiphenyl strain SK-4 produced stoichiometric amounts of 2-chlorobenzoate and 4-chlorobenzoate, respectively. Chlorobenzoates were not produced when strain SK-3 was grown on 2,4'-dichlorobiphenyl.
