ABSTRACT:
Novel microorganism strains JM2N (FERM BP-5961), JM6U (FERM BP-5962) and JM7 (FERM BP-5975), mutants of strain J1 (FERM BP-5102), constitutively expressing an oxygenase, and a method for biodegradation of organic compounds and a method for environmental remediation by decomposing pollutants in the environment using these novel microorganisms. These microorganisms do not require any inducer to express their organic compound-degrading ability, and use of these microorganisms enables effective decomposition of organic compounds and environment remediation.
