Trichloroethyene(TCE), widely used as a solvent and a degreasing agent, is a toxic environmental contaminant with possible carcinogenic properties. No microorganisms which can grow on this compound are known but comatebolic conversion of TCE by oxygenases has been described. Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia G4 can aerobically degrade TCE when grown on Toluene or other aromatic compounds as carbon and energy sources. In this paper, the TCE degradation capacity of B. cepacia G4 in a growth limited fed-batch culture with toluene as the primary substrate is described. 34 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
