Dataset describing biodegradation of individual polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (PCBs) by Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 in presence and absence of sediment slurry.

ABSTRACT: 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 [1]. In absence of sediment, PCBs were extracted from aqueous bioreactors by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with hexane. In presence of sediment, the extraction method used was a modification of U.S. EPA Method 3545 [3]. Sediment slurry samples were extracted from bioreactors using pressurized fluid extraction (Accelerated Solvent Extractor; Dionex ASE-200) with equal parts acetone and hexane. GC-MS/MS triple quadrapole technology in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) was used for identification and quantification of 209 PCBs as 174 chromatographic peaks. Samples were processed in batche
