The potential of microbial degradation of PCB in contaminated actual site soil was investigated by incubation in percolation columns for 10 months. The addition of traces of mineral salts and nutrients resulted in a significant increase of the degradation of PCB congeners up to 5 Cl-atoms caused by

## Abstracts chlorobiphenyls), P. chrysosporium and four other white-rot fungi grew well and developed extensive mycelial networks. However, after 40 days of incubation, only small decreases (ca., < 6%) in certain congeners were measured. Thus, for PCB bioremediation, white rot fungi appear simila
In contrast to the degradation of penta- and hexachlorobiphenyls in chemostat cultures, the metabolism of PCBs by Alcaligenes sp. JB1 was shown to be restricted to PCBs with up to four chlorine substituents in resting-cell assays. Among these, the PCB congeners containing ortho chlorine substituents
