The dechlorination of
PCB
, specifically the noncoplanar congener
PCB
153, has been observed in the presence of a crude
nitrate reductase
extract from Medicago sativa leaves. These observations were further confirmed using a commercially available and pure
nitrate reductase
from Zea mays. The presence of
nitrate reductase
increased
PCB
153 dechlorination. Then, the addition of molybdenum, the enzyme's cofactor, enhanced dechlorination of the environmental contaminant. The ability of plant
nitrate reductase
to dechlorinate
PCB
is a new observation.
