Metabolite detection as evidence for naturally occurring aerobic PCB biodegradation in Hudson River sediments

The detection of chlorobenzoic acids and other characteristic metabolic intermediates of aerobic PCB biodegradation in contaminated sediments indcates that this important biodegradative process occurs naturally in the upper Hudson River. These findings represent the first detection of metabolites of...

Zusammenfassung:The detection of chlorobenzoic acids and other characteristic metabolic intermediates of aerobic PCB biodegradation in contaminated sediments indcates that this important biodegradative process occurs naturally in the upper Hudson River. These findings represent the first detection of metabolites of aerobic PCB biodegradation in contaminated environmental samples.
