Abstract:
:Water samples from rivers, streams, ponds, and activated sewage were tested for the presence of bacteria which utilize 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) as a sole source of carbon. Seventy percent of the attempted enrichments yielded pure cultures of 2,4-D-metabolizing bacteria. All but 1 of the 30 isolates were gram-negative rods, all but 2 were motile, and all were nonfermentative and oxidase and catalase positive. Nine isolates had DNA guanine-plus-cytosine values of 61.1 to 65 mol%. One isolate had a 67 mol% guanine-plus-cytosine value. The results suggest that these 2,4-D-metabolizing bacteria belong to the genus Alcaligenes. Fourteen of 23 isolates contained one or more detectable plasmids of about 20, 60, or 100 megadaltons. HindIII restriction fragment patterns showed these plasmids to be different from each other with one exception. Very similar restriction fragment patterns were revealed with a plasmid isolated from an Alcaligenes eutrophus strain obtained from Australia (pJMP397) and in an Alcaligenes sp. isolated in Oregon (pEML159). These two plasmids were about 56 megadaltons, had the same guanine-plus-cytosine value, were transmissable, and coded for 2,4-D metabolism and resistance to HgCl2. Hybridization of these two plasmids was demonstrated by using nick-translated 32P-labeled pJMP397. The vector pBR325 was used to clone HindIII fragments from pEML159. One cloned fragment of 14.8 megaldaltons expressed in Escherichia coli the ability to release 14CO2 from 2,4-D labeled in the acetate portion.
