title: Biodegradation of dimethylterephthalate by mixed microbial cultures.
abstract: The microbial association 189 was isolated from soil treated with dimethylterephthalate (DMT) for a long time. The dynamics of its growth, respectively the degradation of the terephthalate ester known as an environmental pollutant has been studied.
