Biodegradation of Chlorinated Aromatic Chemicals in Continuous Cultures

Enrichment of dibenzofuran utilizing bacteria with high co-metabolic potential towards dibenzodioxin and other anellated aromatics

“…Their potential to persist in the environment and to 'bioconcentrate' in animals and man is mostly due to the fact that these chemically highly stable molecules resist biodegradation. Degradation studies with prokaryotes are therefore rare [7][8][9].…”
