The substrate range of <i>Nocardioides</i> sp. strain PD653, capable of mineralizing hexachlorobenzene, was investigated based on the dissipation of substrates and the liberation of halogen ions. Strain PD653 dehalogenated 10 out of 18 halophenol congeners; however, it could dehalogenate only hexachlorobenzene out of seven halobenzene congeners tested. Moreover, dehalogenation activities were shown for chloronitrobenzenes, along with an increase in the number of substituted chlorine atoms except ...[more]
