Abstract
A novel microorganism has been isolated and identified as Agrobacterium sp., a gram-negative aerobe. The Agrobacterium sp. microorganisms has been found to efficiently degrade ferric chelates of aminopolycarboxylic acids, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and related compounds, found in aqueous waste solutions. A biologically pure culture of Agrobacterium sp. and a process for using the culture are disclosed.
