Response Mechanisms of Bacterial Degraders to Environmental Contaminants on the Level of Cell Walls and Cytoplasmic Membrane

<table>Percentage representation of membrane phospholipids after the addition of nonpolar (PCBs) and polar (3-CBA) toxic pollutants in the presence of four bacterial strains isolated from a long-term PCB-contaminated soil and sediment:<i> Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, Ochrobactrum anthropi, Pseudomonas stutzeri, </i>and<i> Pseudomonas veronii</i>. PC: phosphatidylcholine, PE: phosphatidylethanolamine, and PG: phosphatidylglycerol.</table>
