PSEUDOMONAS MANDOSINA BCNU 154에 의한 BTEX 분해

Degradation of aromatic compound by Pseudomonas mendocina BCNU 154 has been investigated. The microorganism utilizes xylene, toluene, nitrobenzene, ethylbenzene and cumene. This strain is tolerant to some heavy metals, such as Mn, Cu, Si, and Mo, and resistant to some antibiotics, such as vancomycin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin. The metabolic pathway of toluene in Pseudomonas mendocina BCNU 154 is also elucidated.
