ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a biologically pure culture of Aureobasidium pullmans deposited as NRRL 21064. Further disclosed are processes for decreasing the concentration of a type A/B chemical pollutants in an aqueous mixture containing the type A/B chemical pollutant which comprises adding sufficient amount of a fungal cyclic ether degrading microorganism to the aqueous mixture containing the chemical pollutant in the presence of a sufficient amount of cometabolite (type A chemical pollutant; not needed with type B) and a sufficient amount of oxygen.
