There are three distinct chemical compounds which are dichlorobenzenes:

  • 1,2-Dichlorobenzene or ortho-dichlorobenzene;
  • 1,3-Dichlorobenzene or meta-dichlorobenzene;
  • 1,4-Dichlorobenzene or para-dichlorobenzene.

    • Biodegradation

    Rhodococcus phenolicus is a bacterium species able to degrade dichlorobenzene as its sole carbon source.
