Diversity of alpha-halocarboxylic acid dehalogenases in bacteria isolated from a pristine soil after enrichment and selection on the herbicide 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (Dalapon).

Abstract excerpt

Five pure cultures of bacteria (strains DA1-5) able to degrade 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (22DCPA) were isolated for the first time from pristine bulk soil samples. From 16S rDNA analysis, it was concluded that strains DA2, DA3 and DA4 were members of the Bradyrhizobium subgroup (alpha-Proteobacteria), strain DA5 clustered in the Brucella assemblage (alpha-Proteobacteria) and strain DA1 clustered in the...
