RESUMO

Nine Zoogloea strains, were examined for their ability to utilize 35 aromatic compounds. Benzoate, m-toluate, and p-toluate, as well as phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, and p-cresol, were utilized by eight strains. These strains exhibited meta cleavage of catechol and of methyl-substituted catechols. With the exception of L-tyrosine, none of the aromatic compounds tested supported growth of Z. ramigera ATCC 19623. A medium containing sodium m-toluate was used to isolate 37 zoogloea-forming bacteria from various polluted environments. The isolates were identified as strains of Zoogloea.
