Abstract

A tetrachloroethylene (PCE)-degrading gram-positive, endospore forming, anaerobic bacterium, strain DPH-1, was isolated from a contaminated site. The organism was identified as Clostridium bifermentans by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and based on its physiological characteristics. Strain DPH-1 could dechlorinate high concentrations of PCE (0.9 mM), via trichloroethylene (TCE) to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE) at a rate of 0.43 micromol/h.mg protein, as well as a number of other halogenated aliphatic compounds.
