Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated aromatic compound primarily used as a wood preservative and fungicide. Its biodegradation is facilitated by specific bacterial strains such as Arthrobacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Flavobacterium sp., which possess genes enabling the breakdown of PCP. The gene sequences involved in PCP degradation have been analyzed through 16S rRNA comparisons and PCR fingerprinting, revealing a close genetic relationship among these strains. Structurally, PCP is a white to cream-colored powder with a melting point of 174 C, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Functionally, PCP acts as an inhibitor of chlorophyll and 5-aminolevulinic acid biosynthesis in certain algae, indicating its potential impact on photosynthetic organisms. The biodegradation process of PCP has been optimized in two-phase bioreactors, demonstrating the feasibility of this approach for environmental remediation.
