Microorganism and deodorizer containing the same

Microorganism and method for environmental purification using the same

A novel microorganism which has the following characteristics: morphology (coccoid, rod shaped), gram staining (&plus;), spore forming (&minus;), motility (&minus;), relationship to exygen (aerobic), oxidase test (&minus;), catalase test (&plus;), resistance to acid (&minus;), rod-coccus cycle (&plus;), and GC content of DNA (mole %) (73 (by HPLC)), and which can decompose chloroethylene. The microorganism can decompose in 24 hours 30 ppm of trichloroethylene, and decompose of 100 ppm of trichloroethylene by 50%.
