Although isolated on 4-aminobenzoate, Burkholderia cepacia strain PB4 is also able to grow on 4-nitrobenzoate. Degradation of an equimolar mixture of the nitroaromatic compound 4-nitrobenzoate and its corresponding aminoaromatic derivative 4-aminobenzoate by this strain was investigated. Batch experiments showed that
