Estimation of degradation potential of the bacterial degraders of chlorine derivatives of phenol of the industrial ecotopes in ufa

The ability of eight natural isolates of the two ecotopes to separately use 2,5-dichlorophenol (2,5-DCP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) as the sole source of carbon and energy were studied. Probably the chlorine substituent at the 5th position concerning the toxicity of the substrate is more important than its total amount because from the eight strains five used 2,4,6-TCP and only one used 2,5-DCP. No one of the studied strains did not show an antagonistic effect on other cultures. This indicates to the possibility of their combined use in technologies for the remediation of the environment from pollutants of a chloroaromatic nature.
