ABSTRACT:
The invention includes remediating a medium contaminated with an organohalide using a microorganism that produces a bioemulsifier. The organohalide is dispersed within the medium by contacting the medium with the bioemulsifier directly produced from Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 55487 or obtained from a growth medium supernatant of Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 55487. Then, the medium and the organohalide is treated with Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 55487 which causes the organohalide to degrade in the presence of the Pseudomonas cepacia ATCC 55487.
