The objictives of this study were to investigate degradation rates and to develop a regression model using molecular structure technique for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). DCM(Methypene chloride) and VC(Vinyl chloride) were well degraded by the Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b. From previous investigations, 5 hydrocarbons(DCM, DCA, 1, 1-DCE, 1, 2,-DCE, TCE)except CF(Chloroform) had relatively close rate constants. Regression equations showed a good correlation between the measured and calculated rate constants for CAHs from several results.
