Detoxification of chlorinated aromatic compounds by organism NRRL B-18086

摘要

Pseudomonas strain NRRL B-18086 was isolated as pure culture from the Baton Rouge Sewage Treatment Plant. The strain can utilize chlorinated aromatic compounds as the sole carbon source and will degrade both 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5- trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), as well as other xenobiotic compounds.
