BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Strain Rhodococcus ruber 2B, isolated from the active mud of sewage treatment facilities, was used to accelerate the degradation of dimethyl terephthalate and dibutyl terephthalate in soil. Terephthalate monoesters and terephthalic acid were found among the metabolites of dimethyl terephthalate and dibutyl terephthalate in soil.
