Metabolism of 4-chlorophenol by Azotobacter sp. GP1: structure of the meta cleavage product of 4-chlorocatechol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mutant strain of Azotobacter sp. GP1 converted 4-chlorophenol to 4-chlorocatechol under cometabolic conditions. Under the same conditions the wild-type strain accumulated a yellow compound, which by chemical and spectroscopic methods was identified as 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexadienoic acid (5-chloro-2-hydroxy-muconic semialdehyde). The structure of this compound indicates a meta-proximal cleavage of 4-chlorocatechol.

Degradation of 4-Chlorophenol via the meta Cleavage Pathway by Comamonas testosteroni JH5.
Comamonas testosteroni JH5 used 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) as its sole source of energy and carbon up to a concentration of 1.8 mM, accompanied by the stoichiometric release of chloride. The degradation of 4-CP mixed with the isomeric 2-CP by resting cells led to the accumulation of 3-chlorocatechol (3-CC), which inactivated the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. As a result, further 4-CP breakdown was inhib...
متن کاملFormation of chlorocatechol meta cleavage products by a pseudomonad during metabolism of monochlorobiphenyls.
Pseudomonas cepacia P166 was able to metabolize all monochlorobiphenyls to the respective chlorobenzoates. Although they transiently accumulated, the chlorobenzoate degradation intermediates were further metabolized to chlorocatechols, which in turn were meta cleaved. 2- and 3-Chlorobiphenyl both produced 3-chlorocatechol, which was transformed to an acyl halide upon meta cleavage. 3-Chlorocate...

Co-metabolism of 3-methylcatechol, 4-chlorocatechol and 3,5-dichlorocatechol by an Achromobacter sp. was shown to result in the accumulation of 2-hydroxy-3-methylmuconic semialdehyde, 4-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde and 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde respectively. Formation of these products indicated that cleavage of the aromatic nucleus of the substituted catechols was acco...

Hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase was purified from cells of the soil bacterium Azotobacter sp. strain GP1 grown with 2,4,6-trichlorophenol as the sole source of carbon. The presumable function of this dioxygenase enzyme in the degradative pathway of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is discussed. The enzyme was highly specific for 6-chlorohydroxyquinol (6-chloro-1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene) and hydroxyquinol (1,2...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase from the aniline degradation pathway of Acinetobacter sp. YAA and its mutant enzyme, which resists substrate inhibition.
Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), a key enzyme in the meta-cleavage pathway of catechol metabolism, was purified from cell extract of recombinant Escherichia coli JM109 harboring the C23O gene (atdB) cloned from an aniline-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter sp. YAA. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography analysis suggested that the enzyme (AtdB) has a molecular m...
