Abstract
A novel microorganism which has the following characteristics: morphology (coccoid, rod shaped), gram staining (+), spore forming (-), motility (-), relationship to exygen (aerobic), oxidase test (-), catalase test (+), resistance to acid (-), rod-coccus cycle (+), and GC content of DNA (mole %) (73 (by HPLC)), and which can decompose chloroethylene. The microorganism can decompose in 24 hours 30 ppm of trichloroethylene, and decompose of 100 ppm of trichloroethylene by 50%.
