Pleurotus ostreatus efficiently degraded PCBs in real contaminated soil. The best results, represented by 50% degradation, were observed in rhizosphere soil. P. ostreatus decomposes the aromatic moiety of PCBs in soil via chlorobenzoic acids. The fungus effectively colonized the soil and suppressed other fungi. Community analysis showed stimulation of bacteria encompassing putative PCB degraders.
