What is it about?
Serious toxic compound (PCB) degarading microorganism has been isolated and determined whole-genome sequnce. The result help understanding the degradation mechanism.

Why is it important?
The capability of utilization of 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl and the coplanar PCB (3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl) by strain SK-2 was confirmed in the presence of 3.0 % NaCl or KNO3.
Perspectives
We'd like to develope actual degarading system using the experimental results.
