Anaerobic microorganisms collected from polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)-contaminated sediments in Erh-Jen River located in Tainan City were acclimated and enriched separately by Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260 for 2 months. The dechlorination results showed that the Aroclor-acclimated mixed cultures could remove chloride from some PCB molecules. And the chloride removal ratio for 1242, 1254 and 1260 were 7.11%, 7.72%, and 11.94%, respectively. In addition, mixed cultures acclimated by a single PCB congener, 345-trichlorobiphenyl (345-CBp), dechlorinated Aroclors in a ratio up to 15.23%, much higher than the Aroclor-acclimated cultures did. However, the microbial dechlorination was not accelerated by the acclimation of 35-CBp, 234-CBp, 245-CBp and 246-CBp. All PCB congener-acclimated mixed cultures performed the Aroclordechlorination in a similar pattern. |
