✦ Synopsis

Geotrichum sp. and Trichoderma sp. isolated from petrochemical effluent treatment plant activated sludge completely degraded 2 g acrylic acid/1 as sole carbon source in 4 d. However, after neutralization with Ca(OH)2, concentration as high as 10 g/1 was degraded in 6 d. During the degradation acetic acid and /3hydroxy propionic acid transiently accumulated.
