METHOD FOR DECOMPOSING POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC COMPOUND BY MICROORGANISM AND TREATMENT AGENT FOR THE POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC COMPOUND

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the decomposition treatment of polynuclear aromatic compounds including pyrene having been difficult to undergo such decomposition treatment when a petroleum pollution or the like occurred.;SOLUTION: This method for the decomposition treatment of the polynuclear aromatic compounds contributing to environmental pollution involves using bacteria which are isolated from soil and belong to the genus Alcaligenes and have the ability to decompose not only pyrene but also the polynuclear aromatic compounds including pyrene derivatives, naphthalene and derivatives thereof, anthracene and derivatives thereof, phenanthrene and derivatives thereof and biphenyl and derivatives thereof.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
