Abstract excerpt
Sphingobium japonicum strain UT26, whose γ-hexachlorocyclohexane-degrading ability has been studied in detail, is a typical aerobic and heterotrophic bacterium that needs organic carbon sources for its growth, and cannot grow on a minimal salt agar medium prepared without adding any organic carbon sources. Here, we isolated a mutant of UT26 with the ability to grow to visible state on such an oligotrophic medium...
