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.^[1]
