[Degradation of chlorinated biphenyls and products of their bioconversion by Rhodococcus sp. B7a strain].
Strain Rhodococcus sp. B7a isolated from artificially polluted soil destructs mono- and di-substituted ortho- and/or para-chlorinated biphenyls with utilization of chlorinated benzoic acids and shows high degradation activity as regards trichlorinated biphenyls. It is shown that p-hydroxybenzoic and protocatehoic acids are the products of p-chlorobenzoic acid catabolism.
