Abstract excerpt
This study reports the isolation of Pseudomonas sp. strains with monochloroacetate (MCA) degradation function, from uncontaminated soil, and the use of Southern blot hybridization technique to detect MCA degrading catabolic genes and their divergence. Based on their capacity to remove Cl- from MCA in a minimal medium containing 185 ppm Cl-, the strains were classified into three groups: poor degraders (Cl-...
