METHOD FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY IN REMEDIATION OF ENVIRONMENT CONTAMINATED WITH ORGANIC COMPOUND WITH MICROORGANISM WITH METHALLOTHIONEIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preventing the lowering of a degradation activity with toxicity by a degradation intermediate product or the toxicity derived from the expression of a degrading enzyme in the method for remedying environment comprising a step of bringing an environmental substance contaminated with an organic compound into contact with a microorganism having the ability to degrade the organic compound and a step of degrading the organic compound in a contact state.;SOLUTION: This method for remedying the environment is characterized in that methallothionein in a degradation system is enriched in a step of degrading the organic compound and thereby increasing the efficiency in the remediation.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
