A Soil <i>Flavobacterium</i> sp. that Degrades Sulphanilamide and Asulam

Abstract

A Flavobacterium sp. which grows with either sulphanilamide or asulam as carbon and energy source has been isolated from asulam‐treated soil and characterized. Growth on sulphanilamide induces an enzyme system which oxidatively degrades sulphanilamide and asulam.
