We characterized the ability of the cell free extract from polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins degrading bacterium Geobacillus sp. UZO 3 to reduce even highly chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins such as octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins in incineration fly ash. The degradation of 2,7-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,7-DCDD) as a model dioxin catalyzed by the cell free extract from this strain implicates that the ether bonds of 2,7-DCDD molecule undergo reductive cleavage, since 4′,5-dichloro-2-hydroxydiphenyl ether and 4-chlorophenol were detected as intermediate products of 2,7-DCDD degradation.
► Bacterial strain Geobacillus sp. UZO 3 was isolated from a forest compost pile.
► This strain showed novel enzymatic activity for dioxin degradation.
► The cell Free Extract catalyzed reductive cleavage of diaryl ether bonds of 2,7-DCDD.
► We propose the new microbial degradation pathway of dioxin.
