Mapping Microbe Interactions That Support PCB-Degrading Bacteria
from NIEHS Superfund Research Program - Research Brief Podcasts Hosted by Superfund Research Program
Researchers partially funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) mapped interactions between microbes that may support the growth of certain bacteria that degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a harmful contaminant. By harnessing those microbial relationships, researchers could improve the bioremediation, or bacterial breakdown, of PCBs from the environment, according to a team led by Timothy Mattes, Ph.D., University of Iowa SRP Center.
