A Gram-negative bacterium strain LWD09, capable of growing aerobically on 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) as the sole carbon and energy source, was isolated from the farm field. This bacterium was identified as Myroides odoratimimus strain by morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics as well as 16S rDNA sequence. Analysis of culture pH, temperature, cells growth, and DCA concentration demonstrated that strain LWD09 could effectively degrade DCA without a lag phase. The kinetics of DCA degradation was well described using the Andrews equation, and the kinetic parameters were as follows: q max = 1.74 h−1, K s = 43.5 mg L−1, and K i = 230.3 mg L−1. In addition, strain LWD09 was found to be moderately halophilic and showed the highest power of DCA degradation in 5% NaCl (w/w, %). With initial concentrations of 30, 100, and 200 mg L−1, 100%, 80.4%, and 33.2% of DCA were transformed after 96 h in 5% NaCl, respectively. These results suggest that strain LWD09 has the potential to degrade DCA in saline wastewater. To date, this is the first report on the degradation of DCA by a M. odoratimimus strain with moderate salinity tolerance.
