The present invention relates to a Rhodococcus koreensis DNP505 (Rhodococcus koreensis DNP505), a new species of the genus Rhodococcus capable of decomposing 2,4-dinitrophenol, specifically a substance harmful to humans and other organisms. Phosphorus 2,4-dinitrophenol can be decomposed, and when applied to wastewater, sewage or soil contaminated with 2,4-dinitrophenol, it is biodegradable through microbial biodegradation process. Rhodococcus corriensis DNP505, a new species of the genus Rhodococcus which can be used to efficiently purify nitrophenols. |
