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 similar to aerobic bacteria in being most effective against the more lightly chlorinated PCBs.

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

Chlorobenzoic acids (CBA) are frequently dead-end products of partial aerobic biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). When CBA produced from PCB accumulate in the growth medium, they can inhibit the bacterial growth and consequently, slow down PCB biodegradation. In this study, the effect
