Prospects for using combined engineered bacterial enzymes and plant systems to rhizoremediate polychlorinated biphenyls.

abstract：:Anaerobic bacteria reductively dechlorinate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in aquatic sediments, but these microorganisms remain uncultured and, until now, unidentified. Through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rDNA from a highly enriched ortho-PCB dechlorinating culture, the growth of a single ...
