Novel microbial strain, method for biodegrading organic compounds and method for environmental remediation

摘要

A novel microbial strain JMC1 (FERM BP-5960) that it is a mutant strain derived from JM1 (FERM BP-5352) constitutively expressing oxygenase, and a method for biodegrading aromatic compounds and chlorinated organic compounds by using strain JMC1 as well as a method for environmental remediation which comprises a step of biodegrading contaminant in the environment by using strain JMC1. Aromatic compounds and/or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds contained in the environment can be removed at a low temperature by using the novel strain JMC1 without using any inducer substances.
