The compound 2,2,2-trichloroethanol was produced as a metabolite of the degradation process.Applied and environmental microbiology4693-6https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC91628biostudies-literatureAerobic degradation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane by Mycobacterium spp. isolated from soil.PMC91628Hashimoto AIwasaki KNakajima MYagi OfalseAerobic degradation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane by Mycobacterium spp. isolated from soil.Two strains of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA)-degrading bacteria, TA5 and TA27, were isolated from soil and identified as Mycobacterium spp. Strains TA5 and TA27 could degrade 25 and 75 mg. liter of TCA(-1) cometabolically in the presence of ethane as a carbon source, respectively.
