MICROORGANISM FOR DEGRADING HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON AND METHOD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new microorganism capable of degrading halogenated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene, to provide an activator for the microorganism, and to provide a method for environmental cleanup using the microorganism and the activator.;SOLUTION: The microorganism for degrading halogenated hydrocarbons is the one belonging to Genus Ralstonia such as Ralstonia sp. EFZ4B strain, capable of being activated by cyclohexanone. As the cyclohexanone is low toxic and inexpensive, a practical method for environmental clean up is obtained by using the microorganism.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
