Retransformation of fluoride ion generated from the biodegradation of benzotrifluoride to calcium fluoride

The retransformation of fluoride ion generated from biodegradation of benzotrifluoride to calcium fluoride, was described. For the effective use of this process, the recovery and reuse of degradation ability of Rhodococcus sp. were described.
