Acrylic acid is used in various industrial applications but inflicts harm to human health and causes environmental pollution. A new bacterium, identified as Rhodococcus ruber JJ-3, was isolated, which can degrade high concentrations of acrylic acid rapidly and completely. Experimental results showed that the strain can achieve complete degradation of 1000 mg·L?1 acrylic acid in 11 h under the following conditions: pH 7, temperature 35°C, and inoculation quantity 15%. A high concentration of acrylic acid (2000 mg·L?1) can be completely removed in 28 h. According to the Monod model, the maximum specific degradation rate (vmax) and half saturation rate constant (KS) of the strain were 0.85 h?1 and 101.83 mg·L?1, respectively. The results of carbon balance revealed that 54.6% carbon was assimilated by R. ruber JJ-3 as biomass, and 43.0% carbon was mineralized into CO2. Furthermore, glycerol and lactic acid were measured as intermediates, and the possible degradation pathway was proposed during the biodegradation of acrylic acid. These results suggested that R. ruber JJ-3 completely degrades acrylic acid and might have a potential environmental implication in the purification of acrylic acid-contaminated environments.
