Degradation of mono-, di-, and trihalogenated benzoic acids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa JB2.

Abstract:

: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. Chlorocatechols were the central intermediates of all chlorobenzoate catabolic pathways. Degradation of 2-chlorobenzoate was routed through 3-chlorocatechol, whereas 4-chlorocatechol was identified from the metabolism of both 2,3- and 2,5-dichlorobenzoate. The initial attack on chlorobenzoates was oxygen dependent and most likely mediated by dioxygenases. Although plasmids were not detected in strain JB2, spontaneous mutants were detected in 70% of glycerol-grown colonies. The mutants were all of the following phenotype: benzoate+, 3-chlorobenzoate+, 2-chlorobenzoate-, 2,3-dichlorobenzoate-, 2,5-dichlorobenzoate-. While chlorocatechols were oxidized by the mutants at wild-type levels, oxidation of 2-chloro- and 2,3- and 2,5-dichlorobenzoates was substantially diminished. These findings suggested that strain JB2 possessed, in addition to the benzoate dioxygenase, a halobenzoate dioxygenase that was necessary for the degradation of chlorobenzoates substituted in the ortho position.
