RESUMO

Five polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-degrading bacteria were tested for the ability to differentiate between the enantiomers of four atropisomeric PCB congeners (2,2′,3,6-tetra-CB; 2,2′,3,3′,6-penta-CB; 2,2′,3,4′,6-penta-CB; and 2,2′,3,5′,6-penta-CB) after growth in the presence of tryptone-soytone, biphenyl, carvone, or cymene. Enantioselectivity was shown to vary with respect to strain, congener, and cosubstrate.
