“…Similar studies by Sato and Lee (1996) and Sato (1997) showed that the number of PCP-degrading microorganisms was higher in medium with PCP as the sole carbon source than in medium containing PCP and easily utilizable carbon substrates. The authors speculated that their results could be explained by a loss of PCP degradative ability in the presence of readily available nutrients, or because PCP degraders in the mixed culture were not competitive with other microorganisms for nutrients.…”

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a widespread, highly toxic contaminant of soil and water that is generally recalcitrant to microbial breakdown and thus may be considered a good candidate for phytoremediation. PCP toxicity and rates of mineralization were compared in crested wheatgrass seedlings that were either sterile or rootinoculated with microbial consortia derived from soil at a PCP-contaminated site. Inoculated seedlings were more tolerant to PCP and mineralized threefold more 14 C-PCP than sterile seedlings. Only 10% of the recovered radioactivity from sterile seedlings represented mineralized PCP, indicating that rhizosphere microorganisms are primarily responsible for PCP mineralization. The levels of PCP degradation exhibited by several microbial consortia and isolates in liquid culture were not correlated with their ability to protect crested wheatgrass seedlings from PCP toxicity. Most probable number estimates showed that the presence of crested wheatgrass root exudates enhanced the number of PCP-degrading microorganisms by 100-fold in liquid culture, indicating that exudate components provide some nutritive benefit, possibly as PCP co-metabolites. A close association of plants and rhizosphere microorganisms appears to be necessary for crested wheatgrass survival in PCPcontaminated soil, although understanding the molecular details of this association requires further research.
