  • Biodegradation of ethers
    Patent number: 5474934
    Abstract: Ethers including dioxanes are degraded by bringing an ether-containing influent into intimate contact, under growth or resting conditions and in the presence of oxygen, with a culture comprising a bacterium having the characterizing microbiological properties of Amycolata ATCC 55486 or a mutant thereof which retains the characterizing microbiological property of being capable of utilizing dioxane as a sole carbon growth source.
