The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic
pollutant treatment, and specifically relates to a strain of
Rhodococcus YZ-1 with high efficiency in
pentane degradation. The
Rhodococcus of the present invention is named
Rhodococcus (
Rhodococcus sp.) YZ-1, which was deposited in China Center for Type Culture Collection on July 13, 2022, with a deposit number of CCTCC No: M 20221106. The
Rhodococcus sp. of the present invention ( Rhodococcus
Rhodococcus sp. YZ-1 can grow and reproduce using
pentane as its sole carbon and
energy source, adapts to a wide range of environmental temperatures and pH values, and can efficiently degrade
pentane at initial concentrations up to 600 mg / L. Furthermore, the bacterium can also use n-
hexane,
cyclohexane, 2-methylpentane, and 3-methylpentane as carbon and energy sources, efficiently degrading n-
hexane, 2-methylpentane, and 3-methylpentane. The Rhodococcus sp. YZ-1 provided by the present invention will play an important role in the practical treatment of pentane, n-
hexane,
cyclohexane, 2-methylpentane, and 3-methylpentane
waste gas and
wastewater.
