Microbial degradation of chlorinated aromatic compounds.
Many microorganisms are capable of utilizing anthropogenic chloroaromatics as the sole source of carbon and energy. Techniques of co-cultivation, conjugation, and in vitro cloning have been used to extend the range of haloaromatic degradation in bacteria. Employment of suitable 'degrader' strains may contribute significantly towards the removal of these compounds from the environment.
