NOVEL MICROBE RHODOCOCCUS PYRIDINOVORANS PYJ-1 KFCC-11302 ENABLING DEGRADATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR DISPOSAL OF WASTE WATER SEWAGE AND AIR USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A novel microorganism, Rhodococcus pyridinovorans PYJ-1 (KFCC-11302) decomposing aromatic compounds and a method for disposal of waste water, sewage and air using the same are provided. CONSTITUTION: A novel microorganism, Rhodococcus pyridinovorans PYJ-1 (KFCC-11302) decomposing single and mixed aromatic compounds is provided, wherein the aromatic compounds include benzene, toluene, xylene, or styrene or a mixture thereof; and Rhodococcus pyridinovorans PYJ-1 (KFCC-11302) is isolated from water and soil slurry around the region contaminated by waste water. A method for disposal of waste water, sewage and air is characterized by culturing Rhodococcus pyridinovorans PYJ-1 (KFCC-11302) at 20 to 45 deg. C and pH 6-8 in waste water, sewage and air.
