## Abstract The dechlorination and mineralization of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was investigated by simultaneously or sequentially combining two different anaerobic microbial populations, a PCPβdechlorinating culture capable of the reductive dechlorination of PCP to phenol and phenolβ degrading cultur
Two 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase activities and a phenol carboxylase activity were found in cell-free extracts of a defined, 4-hydroxybenzoate-or phenol-grown consortium. Both decarboxylase activities were loosely membrane-associated and required K Γ· but a different pH and ion strength. Loss of a
