Sol–Gel-Encapsulated Biofilms on Biochar Effectively Degrade PCBs and Extend Biodegradation Activity under Environmentally Relevant Conditions

Abstract Attaching aerobic, PCB-degrading cells to carbon-based sorbent materials prior to sediment application is a feasible approach for bioaugmenting contaminated sediments to improve remediation strategies. Furthermore, encapsulation of attached cells with a novel, tailored s...
