Tetrachlorobenzene
1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene is a highly recalcitrant pollutant used as a component of dielectric fluids and in organic synthesis. Pseudomonas chlororaphis RW71 mineralizes 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene as a sole source of carbon and energy, thereby releasing stoichiometric amounts of chloride ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9758802|Potrawfke et al., 1998]).
