The invention provides a degrading
bacterial agent for eliminating
norfloxacin residues in waste water, which belongs to the technical field of biological high technology. The strain used was
Gram-negative
bacteria NOR‑36, which was identified as
Acinetobacter . calcoaceticus. It was deposited in the General
Microbiology Center of China Microbial Cultures Preservation Management Committee (CGMCC for short, address: No. 3,
Yard 1, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, Institute of
Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Zip code 100101), on February 9, 2015, with a deposit number CGMCC NO.10540, identified as
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The main biological characteristics are negative
Gram stain, smooth, short rod-shaped colonies, positive for contact oxidase, and negative for
nitrate reductase. The direct application of degrading
bacteria products can reduce the residual amount of
norfloxacin in water by more than 90%.
