2-Mercaptobenzothiazole, which is mainly used in the rubber industry as a vulcanization accelerator, is very toxic and is considered to be recalcitrant. We show here for the first time that it can be biotransformed and partially mineralized by a pure-culture bacterial strain of Rhodococcus rhodochrous. Three metabolites, among four detected, were identified.
2-巯基苯并噻唑主要作为硫化促进剂用于橡胶工业，毒性很强，且被认为具有顽固性。我们首次在此表明，它可被红平红球菌的纯培养菌株进行生物转化并部分矿化。在检测到的四种代谢产物中，鉴定出了三种。
