Abstract
The ability of three natural isolates of the species Raoultella planticola to separately use phenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) as the only source of carbon and energy was studied. All strains converted phenol, but R. planticola 36T was the most effective and utilized 97% of the substrate. Due to the higher toxicity of 2,4-DCP, only one strain 33-4ch could use this substrate with a final efficiency of 73%. The strains did not antagonize each other, which indicates the possibility of their combined use for cleaning the environment from chloroaromatic pollutants.
