Isolation and identification of an iopromide-degrading strain and its application in an A2/O system

► Isolate and identify an iopromide-degrading strain I-24. ► Evaluate the effects of various factors on IOPr degradation by strain I-24. ► Examine the enzymatic activity of I-24 supplied with different carbon sources. ► Apply strain I-24 to a lab-scale waste water treatment process. ► Analyse the 16S rDNA fragments obtained from the reactor by DGGE and UPGMA cluster.
