Bacterial diversity in soil enrichment cultures amended with 2 (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (mecoprop).

Environmental microbiology - 1 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

Summary The tfdA gene encodes for an alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase enzyme which catalyses the first step of the degradation of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides such as 2 (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (mecoprop). The bacterial diversity of soil enrichment cultures containing mecoprop was examined by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone libraries of both 16S rRNA genes and...
