A denitrifying bacterium, strain YG1, capable of degrading pyrrolidine under denitrifying conditions, was isolated. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, it was identified as a member of the genus Pseudomonas . During the anaerobic degradation of pyrrolidine, YG1 reduced a stoichiometric amount of nitrate to nitrogen gas, demonstrating that the degradation of pyrrolidine is coupled with respiratory nitrate reduction. YG1 also degraded pyrrolidine with a higher degradation rate under aerobic conditions than under denitrifying conditions.
