“…Rhodococcus sp. IN306 strain is very closely related to the Rhodococcus jostii RHA-1 species (Figure 1, Table 1), which is a well-known degrader of biphenyl and its polychlorinated derivatives [31,[58][59][60]. The other two strains featured a lower degree of degradation, but the obtained results confirm the observations made during previous metabolic tests, that they are capable of carrying out catabolic processes of biphenyl and its derivatives.…”

“…Microbial communities are fundamental components of ecosystems playing critical roles in the metabolism of organic matter and xenobiotics as well . They are predominantly involved in the detoxification of contaminated sites, and organisms degrading a wide range of pollutants have already been described by several authors . In nearly every case, microbial reactions are the dominant processes driving natural attenuation of the polluted areas.…”

“…However, culture‐based methods are still valuable for the isolation of bacteria from industrial environments. When molecular techniques are applied to study microbial communities from polluted environment, it should be kept in mind that in most cases only culturable bacteria are relevant or of interest for future biotechnological applications . Microorganisms are an almost unlimited source of metabolic capabilities ready to be exploited for multiple purposes (production, health benefit, or bioremediation).…”

“…The key enzymes involved in PCB degradation are dioxygenases, which are polymeric enzymes. To date, most dioxygenase enzymes have been studied in Gramnegative bacteria [13][14][15]; relatively few dioxygenases have been characterized from Gram-positive bacteria [16][17][18][19]. Previously characterized dioxygenase enzymes contain a large subunit that ranges in size from 51,000 to 65,000 Da [13][14][15] and multiple small subunits that range in size from 22,000 to 27,300 Da [15].…”
