(JP6296711-A)      (A) Biodegrading trichloroethylene (I) comprises bringing aq. medium contg. (I) into contact with microorganisms (having ability to degrade (I)) from intestines of termites. Also claimed are (B) obtaining microorganisms which have ability to degrade (I), by culturing microorganisms sepd. from bodies of termites in culture medium; (C) remediating soil by bringing (I) in soil into contact with above microorganisms; and (D) degrading chlorinated organic cpd. by contacting microorganisms (whose degrading activity can be induced with the aid of an inducer) with chlorinated cpd. in presence of inducer.    Termites are Nasuititermes takasagoensis. The microorganisms are Pseudomonas cepacia, esp. strain KK01 (FERM BP-4235).    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Used for purificn. of sewage or waste water contg.
