A NOVEL MICROORGANISM RHODOCOCCUS PYRIDINOVORANS EDB2 DEGRADING AROMATIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

In the present invention, an enrichment culture is used to separate a microorganism from mud, whose strain name is EDB-2 and has an excellent ability to decompose endosulfan and organic materials, and the microorganism is analyzed for physiology properties and biochemistry properties. The result of the analysis shows that the microorganism has a 99% similarity to Rhodococcus pvridinivorans. The EDB-2 is aerobic, positive to gram, a bar type and pink. The growth temperature range of the EDB-2 is relatively large, the growable temperature being 20-45°C, and the optimal temperature thereof is 20-42°C, The EDB-2 cannot hydrolyze casein and cellulose but can decompose DNA, agar, starch and tween, which means the ability of the EDB-2 to decompose lipid is excellent. Accordingly the invention can be expected to be used for purifying marine waste water contaminated by organic materials.
