Title:
BACTERIAL CULTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000063343
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a pure bacterial culture isolable from a mixed bacterial culture ATCC No. 202057 and capable of degrading methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) to carbon dioxide; a process for isolating such a pure bacterial culture, and a process for remediating a medium containing water and a branched alkyl ether (e.g. methyl t-butyl ether) and/or a branched alkyl alcohol (e.g. t-butyl alcohol (TBA)) using said pure bacterial culture.
