ABSTRACT Ten years after reports on the existence of anaerobic dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment slurries, we report here on the rapid reductive dehalogenation ofpara-hydroxylated PCBs (HO-PCBs), the excreted main metabolites of PCB in mammals, which can exhibit estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities in humans. The anaerobic bacteriumDesulfitobacterium dehalogenans completely dehalogenates all flanking chlorines (chlorines in ortho position to thepara-hydroxyl group) from congeners such as 3,3′,5,5′-tetrachloro-4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl.
