Pseudomonas cepacia strain AC1100 grows luxuriantly on 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) but does not utilize phenoxyacetic acid. After long-term selective pressure on phenoxyacetic acid, mutants designated as strain PAA, capable of utilizing phenoxyacetic acid as well as phenol, emerged spontaneously at a frequency of 1 x 10(-8). A deletion mutant strain PT88, which is devoid of a part of 2,4,5-T...
