Abstract: Microbiological research shows the mineralization of the polyhalogenated dibenzofuran 4-chlorodibenzofuran using a coculture of dibenzofuran-degrading bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain RW1 and the chlorosalicy-late-degrading bacterium Burkholderia sp. strain JWS (13,15). The complete degradation of 4-chlorodibenzofuran with concomitant release od Cl- and formation of biomass is observed.
