Four bacteria capable of using aniline as a sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from river waters. Amomg them, two strains were identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia based on their physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16SrRNA gene sequence and the others as Delftia acidovorans. The four strains were able to grow on the mineral salt media containing aniline at concentrations up to 6,000 mug/ml. Since aniline degrdation by S.maltophilia has not been reported so far, the two strains A-2 and 51-4 were selected for further studies. They completely utilized aniline in a mineral slat medium containing 300 mug/ml of aniline as a sole carbon and energy source within 24 hours.
