Pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) has been identified as a potential persistent organic pollutant, and received concerns from many countries for regulation due to its impurities such as dioxins and furans. Considering the need for its disposal, the mechanochemical destruction approach was investigated
Kazuhiro Takagi et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 75(13), 4452-4458 (2009-05-12)
A novel aerobic pentachloronitrobenzene-degrading bacterium, Nocardioides sp. strain PD653, was isolated from an enrichment culture in a soil-charcoal perfusion system. The bacterium also degraded hexachlorobenzene, a highly recalcitrant environmental pollutant, accompanying the generation of chloride ions. Liberation of (14)CO(2) from

The effect of pH and temperature on the microbial reductive transformation of pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), an organochlorine fungicide, was investigated with a mixed fermentative/methanogenic culture developed from a contaminated estuarine sediment. Culture series were incubated at a temperature range from 4
