Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa JB2 was isolated from a polychlorinated biphenyl-contaminated soil by enrichment culture containing 2-chlorobenzoate as the sole carbon source. Strain JB2 was subsequently found also to grow on 3-chlorobenzoate, 2,3- and 2,5-dichlorobenzoates, 2,3,5-trichlorobenzoate, and a wide range of other mono- and dihalogenated benzoic acids. Cometabolism of 2,4-dichlorobenzoate was also observed....
