The biodegradable bacteria for fats and oils were isolatcd from soil and wastewater. The isolated strain was designated as LW-27 which had high COD removal rate and biodegr2idability on fats and oils, and was identified as pseudomonas chlrorapihis. The cell viability of LW-27 which produced by vacuum drying at $45^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours was 82%. When the wastewater was mixed with LW-27 agent (0.1g/ day) on the activated sludge unit, the removal rates of COD, BOD and n-hexanc extract of the effluents were about 92.9%, 94.8% and 98.0%, respectively.
