The TOL plasmid-encoded enzymes of the methylbenzoate pathway in Pseudomonas putida mt-2 cometabolized 3-trifluoromethyl (TFM)-benzoate. Two products, 3-TFM-1,2-dihydroxy-2-hydrobenzoate (3-TFM-DHB) and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7,7,7-trifluoro-hepta-2,4-dienoate (7-TFHOD) were identified chemically and by spectroscopic properties. TFM-substituted analogues of the metabolites of the methylbenzoate pathway were generally

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 142 oxidizes 2-halobenzoates via a multicomponent oxygenase (V. Romanov and R.P. Hausinger, J. Bacteriol., 1994, 176(11), 3368-3374). The intermediacy of a highly unstable cis-diol in the reaction has been proposed. Direct evidence for this is currently lacking

m- and p-trifluoromethyl (TFM)-benzoates are incompletely degraded by aerobic bacteria that catabolize alkylbenzoates; biodegradation ceases after ring-fission with the accumulation of a trifluoromethyl muconate semialdehyde (2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7,7,7-trifluorohepta-2,4-dienoate, TFHOD) which is resistant to biochemical attack. A bacterium (Strain V-1), isolated from sea-water
