ε-カプロラクタムおよびそのオリゴマー分解細菌の分類学的研究

抄録

Several different bacteria which can utilize ε-caprolactam and its oligomers as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen have been isolated from a soil in the Nylon-6 manufacturing plant (Tsuruga Nylon Plant, Toyobo Co., Ltd.). Two strains of the bacteria isolated, based on their morphological and physiological observations, were identified as Alcaligenes lactamlyticus nov. sp. and Achromobacter xerosis nov. var. lactamlyticus, respectively.
