  • Microbial consortium for the biodegradation of dithiocarbamates
    Publication number: 20030201224
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for biodegrading dithiocarbamates or related compounds which are present in a contaminated environment. The method involves contacting the contaminated environment with a microbial consortium comprised of methylotrophic bacteria such as the genera of bacteria: Alcaligenes, Pseudomonas, and Hypomicrobium, and maintaining the microbial consortium in contact with the contaminated environment for a time that is sufficient for the microbial consortium to degrade the dithiocarbamates or related compounds. Other bacterium, such as Thiobacillus may optionally be present as part of the consortium.
