It is more than 40 years since the environmental contamination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was first reported in wildlife samples. Since then, a huge number of papers on PCBs have been published, which include the biodegradation of PCBs and toxicology of PCBs. The studies on the microbial degradation of PCBs during the few decades provided significant insight into the areas of microbial ecology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics.
自首次在野生动物样本中报道多氯联苯（PCBs）的环境污染以来，已经过去了40多年。从那时起，发表了大量关于多氯联苯的论文，其中包括多氯联苯的生物降解和毒理学。几十年来对多氯联苯微生物降解的研究为微生物生态学、生物化学和分子遗传学领域提供了重要的见解。
