Degradation of iprodione by a novel strain sp. A1-3 isolated from Tibet.

A bacterial strain A1-3 with iprodione-degrading capabilities was isolated from the soil for vegetable growing under greenhouses at Lhasa, Tibet. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genotypic data, strain A1-3 was considered to represent a novel species of genus . It was able to use iprodione as the sole source of carbon and energy for growth, 27.
