ABSTRACT:
Saturated aliphatic halocarbons, including environmental contaminants, are degraded to innocuous, environmentally acceptable compounds by contact, either in situ or in a bioreactor, with microorganisms that produce aromatic oxygenases, preferably with use of a co-substrate, for example, phenol, toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene and xylene, including the provision of novel bacteria that produce aromatic oxygenases, and new recombinant microorganisms that contain cloned aromatic oxygenase genes, examples of saturated aliphatic halocarbon that may be degraded to innocuous compounds being chloroform; bromoform; 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,2-dibromoethane; monochloroethane and monobromoethane.
