Heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from soil and Glass slides and classified as Bacillus cereus SNK12, Paenibacillus polymyxa SNK2. Azotobacter chroococcum ANKII, and Ochrobacterium intermedium ANK1. Their cultures could degrade azobenzene under the conditions of co-metabolism. A rapid test for the ability of bacteria to convert azobenzenes is proposed.
