Abstract excerpt
A bacterial isolate, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 3mT exhibited the ability to degrade high concentrations of 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CBA, 8 g l(-1)) and 4-chlorobenzoate (4-CBA 12 g l(-1)) (Ajithkumar 1998). In this study, by delineating the initial biochemical steps involved in the degradation of these compounds, we investigated how this strain can do so well. Resting cells, permeabilised cells as well as cell-free...
