Abstract excerpt
Bacterial degradation of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) has been previously reported, however, its degradation enzyme system has not been characterized. In this study, a DDE-degrading bacterium, Janibacter sp. TYM3221, was isolated and characterized. Transformation of DDE was demonstrated by TYM3211 resting cells grown in LB in the presence and absence of biphenyl. Gas chromatography-mass...
