<p class="text-faded" style="font-size: 15px">In the last three decades, there have been a number of patents and publications in the usage of several Rhodococcus strains as bioremediation and biotransformation agents. These gram-positive actinobacteria are commonly found in contaminated soils and toxic environments (Larkin et al., 2005). Along with the gram-negative Pseudomonas, they tolerate a range of organic solvents, exhibit unique enzymatic capabilities and have the ability to biodegrade several environmental pollutants. They have been used to bioremediate soil contaminated with hydrocarbons (Warhurst and Fewson, 1994), pesticides (Larkin et al., 2005), nitriles (Brandao and Bull, 2003) and xenobiotics (Martinkova et al., 2009). They have also been used to produce acrylamide (Hughes et al., 1998), triacylglycerols (Hernandez et al., 2008) and in fossil fuel desulfurization (Matsui et al., 2002). | <p class="text-faded" style="font-size: 15px">In the last three decades, there have been a number of patents and publications in the usage of several Rhodococcus strains as bioremediation and biotransformation agents.
