Isolated nicotine-degrading strains show potential for bioremediation in activated sludge, indicating a new method for environmental cleanup.
We have isolated seven novel nicotine-degrading Pseudomonas and Stutzerimonas strains from activated sludge enrichment cultures. These strains were obtained through successive passages of activated sludge microbial communities in M9 minimal media containing nicotine as the sole carbon source, followed by single colony isolation.
