LITERATURE
degradation
resting Escherichia coli cells transformed with the formaldehyde dismutase gene degrade high concentrations of formaldehyde and produce formic acid and methanol that are molar equivalents of one-half of the degraded formaldehyde. The lyophilized cells of the recombinant Escherichia coli also degrade high concentrations of formaldehyde
