ABSTRACT:
An aerobic biodegradation method is provided utilizing a biologically pure culture of a strain of Pseudomonas putida which is capable of degrading PCBs free of vicinal hydrogen atoms as well as congeners unchlorinated in either a 2,3 position, a 3,4 position, or both 2,3 or 3,4 positions.
