Abstract |
The role of estuarine bacteria in the mobilization, transport, and removal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was investigated in estuarine environments. A main objective of this investigation was to determine a secondary impact of PCB contamination of estuarine systems. The specific secondary effect was the PCB-stress-induced accumulation and depuration of enteric bacteria by shellfish, i.e., the Chesapeake Bay oyster, Crassostrea virginica. For this report, bacteria uninhibited by PCB, but capable of growth in the presence of PCB, are defined as PCB-resistant. In this regard, PCB-resistant bacteria were found to be distributed ubiquitously throughout estuarine and marine environments sampled in this study. The residence time of PCB in estuarine and marine environments is concluded to be sufficiently long to induce stress upon estuarine animals. |
