Bacterium capable of biodegradation of wastes

Summary

Lead Inventors: I. Bernard Weinstein Biologically pure cultures of microorganisms designated SH2A and SH2B or their mutant forms are disclosed.A method of using SH2A/SH2B or their mutant forms to degrade an organic material and for growing SH2A/SH2B or their mutant forms under suitable temperatures in an optimal medium are disclosed. Novel thermophilic bacteria capable of degrading lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and wood fiber have been described. The technology is particularly effective in degrading polychorobiphenyls (PCBs)The method describes bacteria that are useful in biodegradation of waste. This new system of biodegradation is capable of targeting different types of waste and broadening the applicability of waste degradative methods.
