Abstract PDF: We report a new PCNB-degrading strain (PCNB-2) that is able to utilize and grow on PCNB (100 ppm) as a sole carbon source. This strain was identified as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans based upon 16S rDNA sequence analysis, API 20 NE tests and cell membrane lipid analysis. The new PCNB degrader Alcali-genes xylosoxidans PCNB-2 could find use in bioremediation of PCNB, which is environmentally persistent.
