Isolations of 3-chlorobenzoate (3CBA)-degrading aerobic bacteria under reduced O2 partial pressures yielded organisms which metabolized 3CBA via the gentisate or the protocatechuate pathway rather than via the catechol route. The 3CBA metabolism of one of these isolates, L6, which was identified as an Alcaligenes species, was studied in more detail. Resting-cell suspensions of L6 pregrown on 3CBA oxidized all known aromatic intermediates of both the gentisate and the protocatechuate pathways. Neither growth on nor respiration of catechol could be detected. Chloride production from 3CBA by L6 was strictly oxygen dependent. Cell-free extracts of 3CBA-grown L6 cells exhibited no catechol dioxygenase activity but possessed protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, gentisate dioxygenase, and maleylpyruvate isomerase activities instead. In continuous culture with 3CBA as the sole growth substrate, strain L6 demonstrated an increased oxygen affinity with decreasing steady-state oxygen concentrations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
