The members of one group of bacteria consisting of Alcaligenes species, including the PCB-degrading bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus H850, had strong abilities to degrade a broad range of PCBs but not the di-para-chlorine-substituted congeners. The members of another group, which included the PCB-degrading bacterium originally classified as Corynebacterium sp. strain MB1, had strong abilities to degrade di-para-chlorine-substituted PCBs. These bacteria were most likely different members of Rhodococcus species., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-47-1-207
