A mixed culture we had isolated, which degrades biphenyl/polychlorinated biphenyls, is composed of two strains, Pseudomonas fluorescens KKL101 and Pseudomonas sp. strain KKS102. KKS102 produces benzoic acid as a dead-end metabolite in the degradation of biphenyl. In this study we showed that KKL101 grew on benzoic acid as a sole source of carbon. This indicated a role of KKS102 in the growth of KKL101 and KKL101 for the growth of KKS102 in the mixed culture.
我们分离出的一种能降解联苯/多氯联苯的混合培养物由荧光假单胞菌KKL101和假单胞菌属菌株KKS102这两种菌株组成。在联苯降解过程中，KKS102产生苯甲酸作为终产物。在本研究中，我们发现KKL101能够以苯甲酸作为唯一碳源生长。这表明在混合培养物中，KKS102对KKL101的生长有作用，而KKL101对KKS102的生长也有作用。
