Abstract
Trichloroethylene is one of chlorinated organic compounds widely used as a solvent and degreasing agent in industry. Because of uninformed disposal in the past, trichloroethylene has become one of major contaminant in environment, and this situation has brought about a serious public concern for its toxicity. A promising approach to solving this problem is bioremediation using degrading-bacteria. A bacterium(strain TC-1) was isolated from environment, which could degrade trichloroethylene. It was preliminary identified as the genus of Sporosarcina sp.. The results showed that the optimal degradation temperature, degradation time, rotary speed and the initial pH of fermentation medium were 25°C, 60 h, 180 rpm and 7.5 respectively, the ratio of degradation reached 95.56% under this conditions.
