Anaerobic transformations of Kepone by denitrifying bacteria
Anaerobic bacteria isolated from Kepone-contaminated sediment were screened for their ability to degrade Kepone under anaerobic conditions. The most extensive degradation was produced by denitrifying bacteria grown on benzoate-nitrate medium. In enrichment cultures, Kepone was transformed more …
