A method of degrading hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) comprising heating the HOCs in the presence of a microorganism capable of metabolizing the HOCs to cause degradation thereof, an embodiment of such method including contacting at ambient temperature said HOCs with a microorganism capable of metabolizing the HOCs for a period of time sufficient to degrade some but not all of the HOCs, heating the HOCs not degraded, and thereafter contacting the HOCs not degraded with a microorganism capable of metabolizing said HOCs.

Method of biodegrading hydrophobic organic compounds

A bioreactor for separating contaminants from fluid and degrading the separated contaminants is disclosed.
