Abstract
A highly effective 4-fluorocinnamic acid(4-FCA)for degrading bacterial strain HZW-3,was isolated from a fluoric agrochemicals factory.Based on its 16SrRNA gene sequence analysis,the strain was identified as a Rhodococcus sp.When 4-FCA was provided as the sole carbon source,more than 94.5% of 4-FCA at concentration of 500mg/L was degraded by strain HZW-3within 24h.The high concentration of 4-FCA could be degraded up to 2 000mg/L.The optimal temperature and initial pH for growth and biodegradation were 30℃and 7.0,respectively.
