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.

Burkholderia cepacia strain AC1100 can be induced for the degradation of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP). We have purified the active enzyme 30-fold to apparent homogeneity with a 44% yield by a two-step chromatographic procedure, and showed that it consists of a single type of subunit of 59 kDa based on SDS-PAGE using Coomassie blue and Sypro staining. This enzyme has no bound prosthetic group but requires exogenous addition of FAD and NADH to perform the dioxygen-dependent hydroxylation in the 4-position of 2,4,6-TCP.

The enzyme which catalyzes the dehalogenation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) was purified to apparent homogeneity from an extract of TCP-induced cells of Azotobacter sp. strain GP1. The initial step of TCP degradation in this bacterium is inducible by TCP; no activity was found in succinate-grown cells or in phenol-induced cells.

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 which cleaves the benzene ring of 6-chlorohydroxyquinol was purified to apparent homogeneity from an extract of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol-grown cells of Streptomyces rochei 303. Like the analogous enzyme from Azotobacter sp. strain GP1, it exhibited a highly restricted substrate specificity and was able to cleave only 6-chlorohydroxyquinol and hydroxyquinol and not catechol, chlorinated catechols, or pyrogallol.
