Reductive dechlorination of a polychlorinated biphenyl congener and hexachlorobenzene by vitamin B12.
The polychlorinated biphenyl congener 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorobiphenyl and hexachlorobenzene were reductively dechlorinated in an aqueous biomimetic model system containing vitamin B12. The products of 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorobiphenyl dechlorination were 2,3,5,6- and 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorobiphenyl. Hexachlorobenzene dechlorinated to pentachlorobenzene and a mixture of 1,2,4,5- and 1,2,3,5-tetrachloroben...
متن کاملKinetics of polychlorinated biphenyl dechlorination and growth of dechlorinating microorganisms.
The present study has investigated a correlation between the kinetics of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dechlorination and the growth of dechlorinating microbial populations. Microorganisms were eluted from Aroclor 1248-contaminated St. Lawrence River (NY, USA) sediments and inoculated into clean sediments spiked with Aroclor 1248 at 10 concentrations ranging from 0 to 3.12 micromol/g sediment ...
متن کاملModeling polychlorinated biphenyl congener patterns and dechlorination in dated sediments from the Ashtabula River, Ohio, USA.
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were analyzed in four deep, dated sediment cores from the Ashtabula River (OH, USA), for the purpose of identifying relevant PCB sources and congener patterns. The time span for three of the cores is from the mid 1960s to 1998, whereas the fourth has a time span of six years. The total PCB concentrations are in the range of 0.4 to 6.8 microg/g dry weight...
متن کاملKinetics of polychlorinated biphenyl dechlorination by Hudson River, New York, USA, sediment microorganisms.
The kinetics of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) dechlorination by Hudson River (New York, USA) sediment microorganisms were investigated using Aroclor 1242 at 10 concentrations ranging from 0 to 900 ppm (0-11.2 micromol Cl/g sediment). The time course of PCB dechlorination and population growth were determined by congener-specific analysis and the most-probable-number technique, respectively, ov...
متن کاملAltered biologic activities of commercial polychlorinated biphenyl mixtures after microbial reductive dechlorination.
The reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by anaerobic bacteria has recently been established as an important environmental fate of these compounds. This process removes chlorines directly from the biphenyl ring with replacement by hydrogen, resulting in a product mixture in which the average number of chlorines per biphenyl is reduced. In this study, dechlorination of co...
