| Abstract: | Summary A Pseudomonas strain able to grown on biphenyl and 2- and 4-chlorobiphenyl has been isolated from soil. Benzoate-grown cultures of this strain were able to cometabolize other chlorobiphenyls to the corresponding chlorobenzoates. In contrast to most of the chlorobiphenyl-degrading strains described previously in the literature, which are reported to form chlorobenzoates as end metabolites from chlorobiphenyls, this strain is also able to further cometabolize chlorobenzoates to form ring-cleaved compounds. |
