Abstract
Lincomycin is one of the most poorly degradable antibiotics in solid wastes from the fermentation process. Discharging solid wastes without appropriate treatment can indirectly threaten human health. To treat the lincomycin residuals in solid wastes effectively, some yeast strains with high degradation capabilities against lincomycin were screened from the environment in this study. The degradation efficiency of the most highly active strain, S9, reached 37 %. This strain was identified as Galactomyces geotrichum. The significance of this study lies in the biotransformation of solid wastes.
