ABSTRACT:
A process for biologically decomposing a halogenated organic acid using Renobacter sp. FERM BP-5353 is disclosed. The microorganism has dehalogenase activity and is capable of decomposing the halogenated organic acid. The halogenated acids include chloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid and dichloropropionic acid, etc. The polluted environments in which the processes may be carried out include the soil, ground water and waste water. Furthermore, the processes may be useful for decomposing aliphatic organochlorine compounds using various microorganisms such as those from the genera Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium.
