Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) has been used as a fungicide for control of smut infestation in barley, oat, and wheat seed. Most HCB was found as a by-product in the waste from manufacture of vinyl chloride, chlorine, and chlorinated solvents. Findings suggest that HCB has entered and contaminated our environment and thus demonstrates potential for accumulation in biological systems. As an environmental contaminant, HCB has been reported as resistant to both photodecomposition and biodegradation by soil microbes. Therefore, this investigation was conducted to examine the effect of HCB on growth, survival, and uptake, by selected microorganisms, and its use as sole source of carbon and energy by these bacteria. Efforts were also made to remove HCB from waste water by chemosorption on charcoal.
