Title: Nano/bio treatment of polychlorinated biphenyls with evaluation of comparative toxicity

Abstract

The persistence of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Aroclor 1248 in soils and sediments is a major concern because of its toxicity and presence at high concentrations. In this study, we developed an integrated remediation system for PCBs using chemical catalysis and biodegradation. The dechlorination of Aroclor 1248 was achieved by treatment with bimetallic nanoparticles Pd/nFe under anoxic conditions. Among the 32 PCB congeners of Aroclor 1248 examined, our process dechlorinated 99%, 92%, 84%, and 28% of tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorinated biphenyls, respectively. The resulting biphenyl was biodegraded rapidly by Burkholderia xenovorans LB400. Benzoic acid was detected as an intermediate during the biodegradation process. The toxicity of the residual PCBs after nano-bio treatment was evaluated in terms of toxic equivalent values which decreased from 33.8 × 10^-5 μg g^-1 to 9.5 × 10^-5 μg g^-1. The residual PCBs also had low cytotoxicity toward Escherichia coli as demonstrated by lower reactive oxygen species levels, lower glutathione peroxidase activity, and a reduced number of dead bacteria.

Tuning biphenyl dioxygenase for extended substrate specificity

Journal Article Bruehlmann, F ; Chen, W - Biotechnology and Bioengineering

Highly substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are known to be very resistant to aerobic biodegradation, particularly the initial attack by biphenyl dioxygenase. Functional evolution of the substrate specificity of biphenyl dioxygenase was demonstrated by DNA shuffling and staggered extension process (StEP) of the bphA gene coding for the large subunit of biphenyl dioxygenase. Several variants with an extended substrate range for PCBs were selected. In contrast to the parental biphenyl dioxygenases from Burkholderia cepacia LB400 and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707, which preferentially recognize either ortho-(LB400) or para-(KF707) substituted PCBs, several variants degraded both congeners to about the same extent. These variants alsomore »« less

Polychlorinated biphenyls: congener-specific analysis of a commercial mixture and a human milk extract

Journal Article Safe, S ; Safe, L ; Mullin, M

On the basis of the relative retention times and response factors of all 209 synthetic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), this paper reports the first congener-specific analysis of a commercial PCB preparation, Aroclor 1260, and PCB composition of a human milk extract. The analysis indicates that Aroclor 1260 contains nearly 80 different PCB congeners with the major components identified as 2,2',3,4',5',6-,2,2',4,4',5,5'-, 2,2',3,4,5,5'-, and 2,2',3,4,4',5'-haxachlorobiphenyl and 2,2',3,3',4,4',5-, 2,2'3,3'4,5,6'-, 2,2'3,4,4',5,5'-, and 2,2',3,4',5,5',6-heptachlorobiphenyl. In contrast, the major PCB components of the human milk fraction were the 2,4,4'-tri,2,4,4',5-tetra-,2,2',4,4',5-penta-,2,3',4,4',5-penta-,2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexa-,2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexa-,2,2',3,3',4,4',5-hepta-, and 2,2',3,4,4',5-heptachlorobiphenyls.

Reductive dechlorination of preexisting sediment polychlorinated biphenyls with long-term laboratory incubation

Journal Article Sokol, R C ; Bethoney, C M ; Rhee, G Y ; ... - Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

The dechlorination potential of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediments from the St. Lawrence River was investigated in laboratory incubations over a 39-month period. During the first 4 months, dechlorination reduced the average total chlorines in the General Motors 001 sediments from 3.2 to 2.5 per biphenyl, an additional 22% beyond the in situ level, for an overall 36% reduction from the original Aroclor 1248 contaminant. With continued incubation, however, an additional dechlorination of a single peak 2,4{prime},5+2,4,4{prime}-chlorobiphenyl ensured after a lag that reduced the average chlorines from 2.5 to 2.4. After this, there was no further transformation until the end ofmore »« less

Polychlorinated biphenyl congeners and selected organochlorines in Lake Superior fish, USA

Journal Article Gerstenberger, S L ; Dellinger, J A ; Gallinat, M P - Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

Walleye, whitefish and whitefish livers, lake trout, and siscowet lake trout were collected from the Apostle Islands Region of Lake Superior. Carp were obtained from a Lake Michigan tributary near Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA. Each fish species was analyzed for 89 polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, 12 selected organochlorines, and total lipids. Congener profiles varied greatly between the fish species. Carp and whitefish contained tri- and tetra-chlorobiphenyl congeners, such as 28 + 31, 63, and 66 + 95 in the highest concentrations. Siscowet trout contained the more heavily chlorinated penta-, hexa-, and hepta-chlorobiphenyl congeners such as 153, 89, 138 + 163, 180, 182more »« less

Extensive degradation of aroclors and environmentally transformed polychlorinated biphenyls by Alcaligenes eutrophus H850

Journal Article Bedard, D L ; Wagner, R E ; Brennan, M J ; ... - Appl. Environ. Microbiol.; (United States)

The authors have isolated and characterized a strain of Alcaligenes eutrophus, designated H850, that rapidly degrades a broad and unusual spectrum of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) including many tetra- and pentachlorobiphenyls and several hexachlorobiphenyls. This strains, which was isolated from PCB-containing dredge spoils by enrichment on biphenyl, grows well on biphenyl and 2-chlorobiphenyl but poorly on 3- and 4-chlorobiphenyl. Capillary gas-chromatographic analysis showed that biphenyl-grown resting cells of H850 degraded the components of 38 of the 41 largest peaks of Aroclor 1242 and 15 of the 44 largest peaks of Aroclor 1254, resulting in an overall reduction of PCBs by 81%more »« less
