The invention discloses a
rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain, and the preservation number of the
rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain is CCTCC (China Center for Type Culture Collection) NO.M2025874. Research shows that the
rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain has the functions of resisting
cadmium and degrading
phthalic acid ester, has extremely high degradation efficiency on DBP (
dibutyl phthalate), and is relatively wide in suitable degradation condition range; the
Rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain has strong tolerance to Cd < 2 + > and PAEs, when the
Rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain is applied to PAEs polluted solution systems under the condition of different initial concentrations of PAEs and Cd-PAEs composite polluted solution systems with different initial concentrations of Cd < 2 + >, high PAEs degradation efficiency can be maintained, and
technical support is provided for remediation of Cd-PAEs composite
pollution. In a word, the invention makes up the technical blank of Cd-resistant PAEs degrading strains, and the
Rhodococcus ruber WM-5 strain or the
microbial agent thereof has great application value in the aspects of degrading
phthalate and repairing Cd-PAEs composite pollutants.
