Abstract
A novel microorganism which has the following characteristics: morphology (coccoid, rod shaped); gram staining (+), spore forming (−), motility (−), relationship to oxygen (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%.
