The formation of volatile compounds during abiotic degradation processes of aromatic compounds in soil has been the subject of many experimental studies but should be examined further. In this context, the present work investigates the natural formation of carbon suboxide
The modified-ortho pathway genes responsible for the degradation of chlorocatechols produced from 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate in Burkholderia sp. NK8 were cloned and analyzed. The five genes predicted to encode a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase, chloromuconate cycloisomerase, dienelactone hydrolase, and

The genes responsible for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) by alpha-Proteobacteria have previously been difficult to detect by using gene probes or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers. PCR products of the chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase gene, tfdC, now allowed cloning of two
The Gram-positive actinobacterium Rhodococcus opacus 1CP is able to utilize several (chloro)aromatic compounds as sole carbon sources, and gene clusters for various catabolic enzymes and pathways have previously been identified. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis indicates the occurrence of a 740 kb

Growth of Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP134 on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate requires a 2,4-dichlorphenol hydroxylase encoded by gene tfdB. Catabolism of either 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate or 3-chlorobenzoate involves enzymes encoded by the chlorocatechol oxidative operon consisting of tfdCDEF, which converts 3-chloro- and 3,5-dichlorocatechol to maleylacetate and
