Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) homolog, seriously threatens human health. In this study, a <i>Rhodococcus ruber</i> strain with high BDE-209 degradation activity, named TAW-CT127, was isolated from Tong'an Bay, Xiamen. Under laboratory conditions, the strain's optimal growth temperature, pH, and salinity are 45 °C, 7.0, and 0-2.5%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that TAW-CT127 is damaged when grown in manual marine cultu ...[more]
