AB  - Biological methods of wastewater treatment have been proved very effective for 
      bioremediation of polluted sites. In this study, the degrading abilities of two 
      bacteria Pseudomonas sp. and Staphylococcus xylosus, towards 1,2-dichlorobenzene 
      (1,2-DCB), 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 4-Cl-m-cresol, are compared. Culture 
      history and the presence of glucose as carbon source have been used for the 
      optimization of cell's performance. 1,2-DCB showed the higher values of effective 
      concentration (EC(50)), 1.04 and 0.84 mM with Pseudomonas sp. and S. xylosus 
      respectively, whereas no substrate-inhibition appeared, in contrary to 
      4-Cl-m-cresol, that was more persistent in biodegradation by both bacteria. 
      2,4-DCP was less assimilated compared to 1,2-DCB, whereas bacterial specificity 
      was higher, as it was found by the estimation of the half-saturation constant of 
      0.36 and 0.26 mM with Pseudomonas sp. and S. xylosus, respectively.
