| Abstract: | A formaldehyde-tolerantbacterium designated as a DM-2 strain was used to biodegrade formaldehyde. The cells, precultivated
in the presence of 400 ppm of formaldehyde, were able to degrade formaldehyde in a minimal medium supplemented with up to
400 ppm of formaldehyde in the presence of 3% NaCl. The rate of formaldehyde degradation achieved, in this study was 45 ppm/h
when the DM-2 culture's optical density at 660 nm was 1.2. |
