Summary
Strain NTB-1, identified as a Alcaligenes denitrificans sp., was isolated from a mixture of soil and sewage samples using 4-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon and energy source. Simultaneous adaptation experiments and enzyme studies revealed that 4-chlorobenzoate was converted to 4-hydroxybenzoate which was further oxidized yielding 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate. Bioformation of 4-hydroxybenzoate from 4-chlorobenzoate when 4-chlorobenzoate-grown cells were incubated with 4-chlorobenzoate under conditions of low and controlled oxygen concentrations.
