Degradation of 2-methylaniline and chlorinated isomers of 2-methylaniline by Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain CTM.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Aug 1991

Fuchs K, Schreiner A, Lingens F

Abstract excerpt

Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain CTM co-metabolized 2-methylaniline and some of its chlorinated isomers in the presence of ethanol as additional carbon source. Degradation of 2-methylaniline proceeded via 3-methylcatechol, which was metabolized mainly by meta-cleavage. In the case of 3-chloro-2-methylaniline, however, only a small proportion (about 10%) was subjected to meta-cleavage; the chlorinated meta-cleavage...
