Details The solvent-tolerant biphenyl/polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degraders Pseudomonas putida strain CE2010, Alcaligenes xylosoxydans ssp. denitrificans strain YO129, and Alcaligenes xylosoxydans strain A41 were isolated and characterized in comparison with other biphenyl/PCB or toluene-degrading bacteria. Among the biphenyl/PCB or toluene-degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas putida CE2010 showed the highest solvent-tolerance.
