Abstract
By enrichment and isolation techniques bacterial strains with the capacity to grow on aliphatic cyclic ethers (dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane) have been isolated. Six strains that degrade tetrahydrofuran were classified as belonging to the genus Rhodococcus. One of two strains that degrade dioxane instead of or in combination with tetrahydrofuran was further characterized and a hypothetical catabolic pathway comprising an initial 2-hydroxylation and several oxidation steps is postulated.Entities:
