Dataset Describing Biodegradation of Individual Polychlorinated Biphenyl Congeners (PCBs) by Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 in presence and absence of sediment slurry

This dataset describes the biodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners by Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 in absence and presence of PCB-contaminated sediment slurry, over time (Bako et. al., In Review). These experiments were designed to further understand how biodegradation of PCB-degrading microorganisms can be limited by slow mass transfer of PCB molecules from the sediment particles to living cells. The data resulting from these experiments can inform future experimental design and be reused by other researchers for further analysis and / or interpretive insights.
