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

Effects of aromatic and nonaromatic cosubstrates on the rate of 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation by R. erythropolis 1CP were studied under growth and nongrowth conditions. Glucose and maltose were found to accelerate 2,4-dichlorophenol (initial conc. 50 mg/l) dechlorination from 11 days to
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
