Abstract:
R04, a Gram-positive bacterium, which can use biphenyl as the sole carbon source, was isolated from soil contaminated with oil in northern China. The bacterium has high biphenyl degradation efficiency and also can degrade polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, Aroclor1221 and Aroclor 1242. The bacterium was identified as Rhodococcus pyridinovorans by the method of 16S rDNA gene sequencing (accession No. AY072745).
