RHODOCOCCUS ERYTHROPOLIS LG12 HAVING ACRYLIC ACID DEGRADING ACTIVITY AND METHOD FOR REMOVING ACRYLIC ACID USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel strain, Rhodococcus erythropolis LG 12, having acrylic acid degrading activity and resistance to acrylic acid, and a method for removing acrylic acid from acrylic acid-containing contaminants using the same. The strain according to the invention has not only acrylic acid degrading activity but also resistance to a high concentration of acrylic acid thus will be useful to remove acrylic acid from acrylic acid-containing contaminants.
