Abstract
AbstractBacterial strains have been isolated from contaminated concrete debris which exhibit the metabolic capability to degrade 2,4‐chlorinated and 4‐chloro‐2‐methyl‐substituted phenols and phenoxyalkanoic acids including phenoxyacetate and phenoxypropionate derivatives. These strains were taxonomically identified. Two of them were found to belong to the β‐subgroup of the proteobacteria and showed strong similarity to Rhodoferax fermentans. Preliminary investigations by PCR amplification using respective primers revealed that the strains harbour tfdA‐like gene sequences.
