Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9940177A1] Ethylene oxidizing microorganisms which are capable of reducing the ethylene content in an ethylene-containing gas to levels below 0.1 ppm and which have an ethylene removal efficiency which exceeds 90 % even at temperatures around 10 DEG C. The microorganisms show a high degree of operational stability when used in a bioreactor for extended periods of time in the presence of ethylene and they can, when mixed with a carrier material, be stored for several weeks in the absence of ethylene without significant loss of their ethylene removal capacity. A bioreactor comprising the microorganism is used for controlling the ethylene content in storage facilities for agricultural or horticultural products.
