✦ Synopsis

Organic chemicals that are toxic to humans and to the environment can be transformed and metabolized by a variety of microorganisms. Such chemicals include trichloroethylene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, phenols, chlorinated phenols, polychlorinated biphenyls and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. This review focuses on some of the most important recent developments in the biodegradation of these toxic chemicals. Depending on the compound and the organism, the extent of our understanding ranges from the molecular level to the conceptual.
