ABSTRACT:
A process for remedying an environment contaminated with an aliphatic organochlorine compound which includes the use of Pseudomonas cepacia strain KK01 (FERM BP-4235) or Corynebacterium species (FERM BP 5102) and Renobacter species (FERM BP-5353). The first two microorganisms are capable of introducing an oxygen atom into the aliphatic organochlorine compound in order to convert the aliphatic compound to an epoxide. During protonization the epoxide is converted into a chlorinated organic acid. Renobacter species strain FERM BP-5353 decomposes chlorinated organic acids to substances naturally existing in nature. The chlorinated and/or 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.
