Abstract

Organic solvent tolerant bacterium, designated as strain BCNU 106 is a gram negative, rod-shaped aerobe and grows on benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) as a sole carbon source. According to 16S rDNA analysis and fatty acid analysis, strain BCNU 106 showed highest similarity to Pseudomonas syringae var. savastanoi (Pseudomonas savastanoi). Strain BCNU 106 was able to utilize toluene, ethylbenzene, both o-, m-, p-xylene , m-cresol and o-cresol. The degradation of o-, m-, p-xylene by strain BCNU 106 is particularly important, since o-xylene is a compound of considerable environmental interest, owing to its recalcitrance; and very few microorganism have been reported to utilize both o-, m-, p-xylene as a sole carbon source.
