Rhodococcus bacteria are considered to be promising degraders of persistent pollutants and are the basis of biological preparations for contaminated wastewater and soil cleanup. Biotechnological application of this group of bacteria is based on the peculiaraties of their metabolism. This review briefly discusses the following main points: I. Growth of Rhodococcus on various aromatic substrates II. Chloro/methylcatechol transformation pathways 3-Chlorocatechol branch of the modified ortho-pathway 4-Chlorocatechol branch of the modified ortho-pathway Modified 3-chlorocatechol branch in Rhodococcus opacus 1CP Meta-cleavage of chlorocatechols Modified pathway for methylcatechol degradation III. Approaches to the enhancement of degradation activity IV. Rhodococcus-based biopreparations V. Prospects.
