Application of natural strains-destructors in the degradation process of the chemical pollutants

The results of the decomposition of commercial mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), highly hazardous chemical pollutants, under the influence of natural aerobic bacterial strains were demonstrated. Strains-destructors isolated from soils subjected to long-term chemical contamination, and belong to the genus Rhodococcus, Pseudomonas, Bacillus. As a result of their use, the level of destruction of PCB mixtures brands "Delors 103" was 78.6-98.3%, the brands "Sovol" - 84.0-87.5%.
