Relative resistance of positional isomers of polychlorinated biphenyls toward reductive dechlorination by zerovalent iron in subcritical water
Article Abstract:
Researchers from the University of Idaho investigated the relative resistance of positional isomers of polychlorinated biphenyls toward reductive dechlorination by zerovalent iron and pressurized hot water.

The absence and application of stable carbon isotopic fractionation during the reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls
Article Abstract:
A bacterial culture (known to reduce PCBs) is subjected to 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobiphenyl, and the resulting 2,3,5-trichlorobiphenyl is measured for stable carbon isotopic fractionation. The noted absence of byproducts is graphed.

Priming microbial meta-dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls that have persisted in Housatonic River sediments for decades
Article Abstract:
Several polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) cogeners are capable of stimulating indigenous microbial populations in sediment to dechlorinate PCB. The use of 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorobiphenl (23456-CB), 236-CB and 2346-CB resulted in a narrow meta-dechlorination specificity. Additionally, it was already known that para-dechlorination could be stimulated in the microbial population by PCB cogeners.
