ABSTRACT
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are inorganic contaminants which due to various industrial activities such as heat transfer fluids, dielectronic fluids, hydraulic fluids, flame retardants, plasticizers, and solvent expanders, are manufactured in an environmentally sustainable way. Because of low solubility, toxicity, and thermal stability, PCBs are difficult to degrade. Over the years, several efforts have been made to find a way of degrading PCBs and reducing pollution due to these pollutants. All of these experimental efforts have been well researched through the usage of white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium. In this chapter, the biodegradation process for PCBs with white rot fungi is described.
