Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas sp. strain RHO1 able to use chloro- and 1,4-dichlorobenzene as growth substrates was tested towards sensitivity against chlorobenzene. Concentrations of chlorobenzene higher than 3.5 mM were found to be toxic to cells independent of pregrowth with chlorobenzene or nutrient broth. Below this concentration, sensitivity towards chlorobenzene depended on the precultivation of the cells, i.e. type of...
